Piscataway, N.J. — Nothing has been easy for Michigan season this season, not even winning at Rutgers, a team it has manhandled the last five years.
The Wolverines, who look like they have found an answer at quarterback in Cade McNamara, overcame a 17-point deficit, then faced overtime after giving up the tying touchdown and two-point conversion with 27 seconds left.
Michigan broke its three-game losing streak with a 48-42 victory over Rutgers in triple overtime Saturday night at SHI Stadium. Michigan is now 2-3, and Rutgers is 1-4.
“Our goal this week was to be 1-0, and we achieved that,” said UM linebacker Josh Ross, who led the team with 11 tackles and a sack.
