The Scarlet Knights made a change at quarterback, turning to Zach Allen in place of Chris Laviano.
The result, however, was the same. Rutgers went three-and-out for the fifth straight drive, and a sack -- this time from Ben Gideon -- capped the drive and brought a fourth-and-long.
The Wolverines lead 14-0 late in the first quarter.
Wolverines add to lead
Wilton Speight, on only his third completion, found Jehu Chesson for a 30-yard touchdown down the left sideline. The Wolverines picked up their second first down on a 12-yard run from Ty Isaac earlier in the drive.
