Ann Arbor — Across the board, Michigan’s coaches and players know their play in last weekend's Big Ten opener at Wisconsin was substandard.

That goes for every position group in the Wolverines’ 35-14 loss to the Badgers.

The Wolverines (2-1) are hopeful facing Rutgers on Saturday at Michigan Stadium will give them a jolt, not only on the offensive side, which has been picked apart all week by media and coaches, but also the defense, which allowed the Badgers to rush for 359 yards.
