ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Someone forgot to tell Michigan that this was supposed to be a struggle between defenses.
Jake Rudock shrugged off an injury and threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns as No. 17 Michigan's offense overwhelmed No. 19 Florida during a 41-7 victory Friday in the Citrus Bowl.
"I would say this was the best game we've played all year," Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. "I don't think I've ever seen our offense play better. Our defense was magnificent. ... The three and outs, the stops, the play on third down, everybody playing great team defense.
