Michigan Football: Highlights, instant impresssions from win over Rutgers

Michigan football dominated the first half against Rutgers, then had to hold on for dear life. Here are the highlights and our instant reaction.

A win is a win as they say, but Michigan football certainly didn’t look like a Big Ten contender in the second half of its 20-13 win over Rutgers.

Truth to be told, the Scarlet Knights dominated the final 30 minutes. At one point, they had 13 first downs compared to zero for Michigan and if it wasn’t for a few timely mistakes and some stellar red-zone defense by U-M, Rutgers could have easily escaped the Big House with a win.
