In a tale of two halves, Michigan football survived a startling scare from a rising Rutgers program.
Everything was going as planned after Michigan football took the kickoff and forced its way down the field to take a 7-0 lead on Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights preceded to get a field goal, and the Wolverines regained the football for a second Hassan Haskins touchdown to jump ahead to a 14-3 advantage that was deemed insurmountable at the moment.
The defense was putting Rutgers into fourth and short opportunities to stall their drives.
