Michigan Shakes Off Slow Start, Rolls Rutgers in Another Stress-Free Visit to Piscataway

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Highpoint.com Stadium emptied out fairly quickly by the time the fourth quarter rolled around. Rutgers fans were tired of experiencing déjà vu, leaving the remaining Michigan fans to brave the bitter cold.

Michigan pummeled Rutgers 42–7, evoking bad memories of two years ago, the last time Jim Harbaugh brought his team to New Jersey.

That time UM posted a score of 78–0 (it was 43–0 at halftime). This final score wasn’t quite as embarrassing, but Michigan continues to roll through its conference schedule in hopes of ultimately winning the Big Ten and making it through to the College Football Playoff.
