Michigan’s offensive game plan heading into the Rutgers game included getting backup quarterback Cade McNamara in the contest at least for a couple of series.
But McNamara replaced starter Joe Milton late in the second quarter with Michigan trailing 17-0 and never left. He accounted for four passing touchdowns and ran for one as he helped lead the Wolverines’ 48-42 comeback victory in triple overtime last Saturday night on the road.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh did not say Monday whether McNamara will start when the Wolverines (2-3) face winless Penn State at Michigan Stadium on Saturday.
