Michigan football trails Rutgers by 2 scores at halftime: How did it get this bad?

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse for Michigan football, the Wolverines are down 17-7 to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights with 30 minutes left to play.

And it still can get worse. The Wolverines could lose this game, pushing Jim Harbaugh's hot seat to a blazing temperature and the Maize and Blue to 1-4. It would be Rutgers' second conference win in its last 24 tries (you may remember the Knights' last win, against Michigan State earlier this season).

But there's hope in the form of Cade McNamara who took over at quarterback in the second quarter.
