Rutgers has lost by an average score of 51-7 against Michigan over the past five meetings, including a 52-0 drubbing that saw former head coach Chris Ash fired the day after last season. There should be legitimate hope this season’s matchup will be far more competitive. Both teams are 1-3 and the Scarlet Knights played another Big Ten blue blood, Ohio State, much tougher after years of embarrassing losses.
Whether Rutgers can actually win on Saturday and beat Michigan for the first time since 2014 remains to be seen. Our contributors give their take on Saturday’s game between Big Ten East foes.
