PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- If Jabrill Peppers didn't do enough on the field to throw his hat in the Heisman ring Saturday night, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh made sure to give it an extra toss following his team's 78-0 dismantling of Rutgers.
"In my humble opinion, you're looking at a Heisman Trophy winner and candidate," Harbaugh said following a career-best day for the redshirt sophomore in his home state of New Jersey.
Peppers ran for two touchdowns on offense and got to the end zone a third time on a punt return that was overturned because of a block in the back.
