Michigan ran the ball the entire 2nd half after that first scoring drive. They took out most of their starters at halftime. You have to still play football. Getting the 2s and 3s and 4s valuable playing time.
This loss is completely on Rutgers. Michigan and Harbaugh didn't run it up at all. Michigan is just far superior than Rutgers. Rutgers has a LONG way to go if they ever are going to competitive in the B1G. Right now, the only value Rutgers brings to the B1G is cable box money. A dumpster fire football and MBB program that ensures the midwestern B1G schools can 1) get more money; 2) get easy wins; 3) recruit NJ without any resistance whatsoever from the home school. Seems like a slam dunk invite for Michigan, tOSU, MSU, UW, Nebraska, Iowa, Penn St, etc.
