ESPN RECAP

Rudock leads No. 17 Michigan to a 49-16 Rutgers rout

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jim Harbaugh refused to show mercy as Michigan (No. 17 CFP, No. 16 AP) was routing Rutgers . And he's not sorry. Jake Rudock threw for two touchdowns and a career-high 337 yards and ran for a score and an eyebrow-raising, 2-point conversion to lead the Wolverines in a 49-16 win over the Scarlet Knights on Saturday. Why did Harbaugh go for 2 with a 25-point lead in the third quarter? "That's what the chart says to do, so we went with that," he said. "Playing the percentages." Even up 30 points late in the third quarter, Harbaugh was choosing to throw deep. "He's the ultimate competitor," said Michigan tight end Jake Butt , who had four receptions for a career-high 102 yards. "That's pretty clear at this point." The Wolverines (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten) were able to coast to an easy victory after wild finishes in their last two games.
