Daxton Hill's most emphatic play in Michigan's 52-0 win over Rutgers came on the punt team.

Near the start of the second quarter, the Wolverines punted from their 26. Scarlet Knights returner Avery Young decided to field the ball off the hop — and was immediately met by Hill, who had sprinted down the field.

The perfectly timed hit roused the crowd and pleased Michigan's coaching staff.
