The Michigan Wolverines took care of business yesterday, defeating the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 42-7 in Piscataway.
Quarterback Shea Patterson threw for three touchdowns and 260 yards, while having yet another turnover-less outing. Because of his efficient afternoon, he is this week’s highest-graded offensive player, per Pro Football Focus.
Here is PFF’s explanation on Patterson’s grade:
“Now the 14th-highest graded quarterback in the country, Patterson put forth the highest-graded game of his career against Rutgers, in a proverbial ‘tune-up game’ before their much-anticipated matchup with Ohio State in two weeks. Michigan hosts Indiana next week before squaring off with OSU but if Patterson can find any sort of success like he did against Rutgers, the Wolverines will be sitting pretty at 10-1 heading into Columbus.
