No. 19 Michigan continued its winning ways on Saturday after defeating Rutgers 20-13 to start out Big Ten play.

The Scarlet Knights were undefeated heading into the ballgame, but the maize and blue proved to be too much to handle for the up-and-coming team.

The Wolverines win for the fourth straight game, and it may have been an ugly win, but it’s a win nonetheless. The Wolverines looked like their dominating selves in the first half, but things changed in the second.

Michigan had 233 total yards in the first half compared to Rutgers 121, and those numbers dictated what the first half felt like — domination. The Wolverines entered the break with a 20-3 lead.

While the second half got a little close for comfort in the third quarter, the Wolverines were able to finish the deal and leave with a victory. The maize and blue forced a turnover late in the fourth quarter to win the game.
