Michigan vs. Rutgers: Three keys to a Michigan football victory

Don’t overlook Rutgers. #GoBlue

Michigan will hit the road for the third time this season. This time, the Wolverines head east to take on Rutgers.

Michigan has won seven games in a row against the Scarlet Knights and the maize and blue hold a 7-1 record all time against Rutgers. The last time Michigan went to Piscataway to play Rutgers was in 2020, and the Wolverines won in triple overtime, 48-42.

Last season the Scarlet Knights came to Ann Arbor. While Michigan beat them, it was a tougher task than expected. It was the fourth game of the season and the offense was still trying to gel, but Michigan walked away with a 20-13 victory.

This season, Rutgers started 3-0 before dropping four out of the next five. The Scarlet Knights enter the game 4-4 and are looking to get a monumental upset on Saturday night against Michigan.

Here are our three keys for Michigan to remain undefeated and get a win against Rutgers.
