Live Michigan blog: Smith fumbles, Rutgers recovers

On its second play of the drive, Michigan lost a fumble -- from De'Veon Smith. Rutgers recovered and will start the next drive at the UM 38-yard line.

Smith had a 3-yard carry on first down, giving Michigan a second-and-7.

The Wolverines have five total yards on eight plays.

Still no first downs early

There has been virtually no offense so far.

Rutgers, on its second drive, went three-and-out. The Scarlet Knights got eight yards on a run from Robert Martin on first down, but backed up five on a false start before the next snap.
