Game Summary
For a second there, it looked like Rutgers might cause some problems for No. 4 Michigan.
The pressure didn't last long in the Wolverines' 42-7 win, however, as Michigan (9-1, 7-0 B10 East) scored 35 unanswered after Isaih Pacheco tied the game at 7-7 with an 80-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Shea Patterson was 18-for-27 with 260 yards through the air and 3 touchdowns, Karan Higdon eclipsed 1,000 yards on the season with a two-touchdown, 42-yard performance and Nico Collins hauled in two receiving touchdowns.
Aside from Pacheco's touchdown run, the Michigan defense had another strong game, allowing 59 passing yards and 252 yards of total offense.
