Things were dicey in this one in the early going. Michigan entered the locker room at halftime trailing in this one 17-14. Nothing’s a given in football, and any time you’re trailing is a cause for concern. Rutgers played with a lot of physicality in the first half, they blocked a Michigan punt and returned it for a touchdown, and they had a few timely passing plays to push the ball down the field.
