On second-and-five from Rutgers' 23 in the fourth quarter of Michigan's 52-0 win Saturday, he lined up from the shotgun, with Michigan's offense in 11 personnel (one running back, one tight end, three receivers).

Milton dropped back, stood in the pocket and uncorked a throw to the corner of the end zone that freshman receiver Giles Jackson caught for a touchdown.

A couple of days later, Jim Harbaugh revealed the touchdown resulted from adjustments made by both players.
