Message: [QUOTE="SU2NASA, post: 2768491, member: 800"] From MGoBlog’s Rutgers recap of last week: Rutger (1-8, 0-6 B1G) Last week: Lost at Wisconsin 31-17 Recap: We’ve passed the point of “damning with faint praise,” and we’ve moved firmly into “damning with utter contempt but not actual physical violence.” That said, this could have been way worse. Rutger put up 5.1 yards per play, their best outing since Week 1 against Texas State. Art Sitkowski threw for 261 yards at 6.7 yards per attempt, and had a positive TD-INT ratio for the first time in his career (1 TD to 0 INTs, BUT STILL), and has now gone two consecutive games without a pick (also a career high). That said, this was actually way worse than it looks. S&P’s adjusted margin here was nearly 40 points. 43% of Rutger’s yards came on their last two drives, after the competitive portion of the game was already very much over. Before that, they averaged 3.9 yards per play. Defensively, the only way Rutger slowed Wisconsin was with two first half interceptions from a clearly busted Alex Hornibrook. Wisconsin rushed for 323 yards at 7.2 yards per carry (sack-adjusted), and Wisconsin was never really threatened despite a terrible day from Hornibrook. This team is as frightening as: XXX Fear Level = XXX Michigan should worry about: I mean, if it DID happen… Michigan can sleep soundly about: Lest there be any concern about Michigan not being properly motivated, I’m sure they have not forgotten this happened: [ATTACH=full]143842[/ATTACH] In the 10 quarters since those players decided words were a good idea, Michigan has outscored Rutger 127-14, and has outgained it 1254 yards to 334 yards. When they play Michigan: Michigan will likely be victorious. Next week: vs. Michigan, 3:30 p.m., BTN (Rutger +two-thirds of a point per minute) [/QUOTE]
