One good half of football was enough for Michigan to beat Rutgers on Saturday and stay unbeaten. The Scarlet Knights were by far Michigan’s toughest opponent this year up to this point, as the Wolverines handed them their first loss of the season.
So how did the Wolverines’ other 2021 opponents do this past weekend? Let’s do a deep dive into the weekend that was.
Western Michigan (Sept. 4, 47-14 win)
The Broncos went on the road to upset Pitt in a shootout two weeks ago, but this past Saturday, it was their defense that starred, holding defending Mountain West champ San Jose State to 119 total yards in a 23-3 victory in Kalamazoo.
