Michigan football has lost three of the last four games and is 1-3 in the Big Ten, but Saturday marks a prime opportunity to get back onto the winning side of life for the Wolverines.
The maize and blue are on the road for the second time this season, having traveled to New Jersey to face a 2-5 Rutgers team that has struggled mightily in most facets. Where Michigan has struggled offensively, the Scarlet Knights have struggled defensively. Thus, something has got to give at SHI Stadium on Saturday.
The Wolverines are expected to start true freshman quarterback Tommy Carr over Bryce Underwood for the second straight game, and it appears that offensive tackle Blake Frazier is set to return, as should safety Rod Moore on the other side of the ball. Meanwhile, Rutgers will be without signal-caller Dylan Lonergan and could be without star wide receiver KJ Duff, who is a game-time decision.
Follow along during the game for live updates, insights, and highlights.
