Merriam Webster calls band-aides: an offering, making use of, or serving as a temporary or expedient remedy or solution.
That is exactly what Rutgers provided the Wolverines on Saturday afternoon, a band-aide from the wound they received in Wisconsin the week before. The Michigan offense didn't fumble during its first series and scored on a nice route and run by Nico. The defense shut out the helpless Scarlett Knights and the only Michigan turnover was an underthrown 50/50 ball where Shea lost the 50.
This is what we expected a month ago when Michigan played MTSU. By the way, Middle Tennessee is not as good as we thought, they have won one game and just got boat raced by Iowa who travels to the Big House next week.
