Rutgers comes up just short at No. 19 Michigan in 20-13 loss

There are no moral victories in the Big Ten, especially when you have multiple chances to win a ball game, but Rutgers showed up on Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor.

The Scarlet Knights controlled the best rushing attack in the nation but came up just short in a 20-13 loss to No. 19 Michigan.

It was a tale of two halves in the Big House. Michigan began the game with a 17-play drive for a touchdown where they were able to do whatever they wanted. From that moment on, Rutgers was able to control the two-headed monster in the backfield for the Wolverines.
