PISCATAWAY, N.J. — When Michigan beat Rutgers, 78-0, midway through the 2016 season, it was hard to view the final score and the statistics that went along with it as anything other than excessive.

Granted, Jim Harbaugh was playing second and third-stringers in the second half, but 78 points and 11 touchdowns are huge numbers.

Twenty-five months later, Michigan, a threat to win the national championship now, just as it was the last time it was here in 2016, will return to HighPoint.
