Rutgers held in check, suffers first loss of season to No. 2 Michigan

The odds were stacked up against Rutgers on Saturday afternoon.

The Scarlet Knights were big underdogs in Ann Arbor against the No. 2 team in the nation looking to turn in some positives on both sides of the ball.

After a touchdown on the opening drive of the game, Rutgers was kept off the scoreboard during a 31-7 loss to Michigan at The Big House in Ann Arbor.

Gavin Wimsatt hit Christian Dremel on the third play of the game for a 69-yard touchdown to put Rutgers up 7-0 just over a minute into the game.
