Rutgers football enters week 9 of the season riding a two game win streak after knocking off Illinois and Purdue in consecutive contests. October has brought renewed focus and confidence to the program, who now are set to face a major test this Saturday.
After a blowout loss to Penn State last week, Michigan is tied with Rutgers for fourth place in the Big Ten East midway through conference play. To those who made that prop bet before the season, well done. Rutgers is 1-2 against Michigan all-time, having won the first meeting at home in 2014, before losing by a combined score of 127-16 the past two seasons.
