No. 4 Michigan travels to New Jersey to take on the hapless Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday. The Wolverines are expected to pound the Knights by multiple scores. Here’s what you should watch for:
Keep Shea Patterson Healthy
Maybe I’m taking Rutgers a little too lightly, but this game should be easier than any other on Michigan’s schedule. Rutgers is that bad.
The main objective, other than obviously securing the win, should be to keep the starters healthy, especially quarterback Shea Patterson. With backup Dylan McCaffrey out indefinitely, the team lacks depth under center.
