#20 Michigan destroys Rutgers 52-0

It was obvious from the start of the game that Michigan was a different team than they were when they lost to Wisconsin last week. The game started with an opening drive touchdown from Michigan, which relieved Michigan fans who were worried about the lack of offenses execution in the last few weeks. Michigan ended up leading 14-0 and the end of the first quarter and took a 24-0 lead at the half. Michigan’s defense dominated the whole game shutting Rutgers offense down. This loss was the last straw for Rutgers head coach Chris Ash whose record fell to 8-32. Rutgers announced on Sunday that they were firing Chris Ash after four seasons. 

The final statline for each quarterback: Shea Patteron went 17-23 for 276 yards and one touchdown and one interception. Artur Sitkowski went 17-24 for 106 yards.
