Summary
In our Rutgers preview episode, we look at whether or not the Wolverines can snap their three-game losing streak with a win at Rutgers.
We begin by each looking at one thing Michigan (and its fans) can probably feel good about, in addition to one thing the Wolverines should be concerned about. Our discussions look at Michigan’s interior line play on both sides of the ball, the Wolverines’ defense potentially getting a break, Michigan’s need to establish confidence and an identity, the Wolverines’ potential to self-combust and more.
Then, we look at players to watch in the matchup. We discuss Michigan’s new quarterback battle, a running back rotation that has been puzzlingly bad, the Wolverines’ potential for improved play on the defensive line and Rutgers’ most dangerous position group.
We close with our over-under predictions, our hunch for the game and our final predictions for the contest.
