The Michigan football team is hurting, coming off a 42-13 
blowout against No. 2 Penn State in State College that all but 
dashed the Wolverines’ postseason aspirations. Now, Rutgers 
is traveling to Ann Arbor in search of its third consecutive 
conference win while Michigan is looking to right the ship and 
push its conference record above .500.

hotbed.

The Daily breaks down how the Scarlet 
Knights stack up against the Wolverines.

Florida (Sept. 2): ***Jaws theme song***

Cincinnati (Sept. 9): The Bearcats are the only 
team from Ohio that almost won last week. 

Penn State (Oct. 21): Michigan should get an 
assist for Barkley’s Heisman.

Rutgers (Oct. 28): If you’re reading this from 
the hot tub in the student section at Rutgers, 
you should go to the doctor.

Minnesota (Nov. 5): PJ.. Fleck-Harbaugh is the 
next Mayweather-McGregor.

Air Force (Sept. 16): Air Force was my safety 
school. (But really thank you for your service.)

Maryland (Nov. 11): You don’t live in D.C., stop 
saying that.

Purdue (Sept. 23): Jeff Brohm probably had 
better facilities at Western Kentucky.

Michigan State (Oct. 7): The Michigan Daily 
has beaten the State News 13 years in a row.

Indiana (Oct. 14): Hoosier? I barely know her.
Ohio State (Nov. 25): We finally found some-
one who loves college more than Asher Roth: 
tenth-year senior J.T. Barrett.

Wisconsin (Nov. 18): I brought my tent to 
Camp Randall and was wildly disappointed.
