The Wolverines opened with a methodical 17-play, 74-yard drive that took 7:36 off the clock in the first quarter. Haskins finished it off with a 1-yard run.

Rutgers had the ball for 13 plays on its first possession but had to settle for a 40-yard field goal from Valentino Ambrosio.

The Wolverines extended their lead to 14 points with just over four minutes left in the half on Jake Moody's 32-yard field goal.
