Rutgers prepares to host Michigan after Northwestern loss

Rutgers hosts Michigan on Oct. 31 at 12:30 p.m. ET on Big Ten Network. Michigan is 4–3 overall and 1–3 in Big Ten play; a preview reports it allows 15.7 points per game, and coach Kyle Whittingham reportedly compared a Rutgers star to “Megatron,” though the excerpt does not identify the player or give context. Rutgers’ quarterback availability remains uncertain after Lonergan’s exit at Northwestern.
