Piscataway, N.J. — It seemed a bit surreal that this has been described as a must-win game for Michigan at Rutgers, but now, at halftime, it’s not a gut-check game for the Wolverines.
Rutgers (1-3) carries a 17-7 lead into halftime. Both teams entered this game having lost their last three.
Michigan has now been outscored, 97-59, in the first half this season.
Quarterback change
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday the quarterback competition would be open this week, after starter Joe Milton threw two interceptions in the 49-11 loss to Wisconsin – both led to Badgers’ touchdowns.
