Michigan 78, Rutgers 0
[Photo: Patrick Barron/MGoBlog]
Rutgers punted 16 times tonight, surpassing the 1938 University of Chicago team for the second-most by a Michigan opponent in a single game.*
The University of Chicago abolished their football program in 1939.
Win with cruelty.

*Ohio State, with 21, is the record-holder thanks to the ludicrous 1950 Snow Bowl.

sadly not what it should be....but in the light of 78 mfp to zero, I guess we can keep our heads high

Ace... I think you spent too much time writing this recap. You could have gotten away with just the last paragraph.
October 9th, 2016 at 6:13 AM ^
The last sentence.
October 8th, 2016 at 11:05 PM ^
Rutgers should drop a division. Seriously.
October 9th, 2016 at 1:23 AM ^
....or drop a sport.

This amused me to review:

Is Jabrill the new Harmon?

That is written in a very Brianesque tone...interesting. Time travel conspiritors suit up!

Next time they start talking about becoming the LSU of the Northeast, remind them of 78-0. They're not a contender and they never will be.

Vicious, hilarious and true
October 8th, 2016 at 11:43 PM ^
...they're the Cumberland College of the Northeast.

Chris Ash ✔️
Mark Dantonio - Next
Anyone else want to run their mouths during the offseason?

to pick up those two first downs: Fuckers. Well, it'll give Coach Brown some teaching moments.

Respectfully disagree. This will teach those smart ass Rutgers students claiming they would win this game and talking all sorts of trash. Jim channeled his inner Conan to teach all those Jersey recruits who's the boss. Those kids Ash brought will want to be recruited and coached by a professional.

It sure was nice of Ash to bring in 200 recruits to see that "game". Maybe next year he won't try to start a rival satellite camp the same day as us and bring in a rival coach (Meyer) to speak at it...
October 8th, 2016 at 11:58 PM ^
he was an assistant at OSU so you can understand he was already on the wrong side of the Michigan vs. OSU rivalry.
October 9th, 2016 at 1:25 AM ^
Their 200 recruits in attendance whould have probably given us a better game!

Good question. It isn't just a question of starters vs.2nd string. It is the play calling. If Michigan had passed a lot more, to Butt, Darboh, Chesson, Perry, and maybe McDoom, the score would have been a lot worse. I know over at 11W they are crabby. It was good that Speight was pulled early. Other JH would get even more crap for the win.

Ironically, if this game were in Ann Arbor the score might have been slightly lower. On the road, our travel team is not the full roster - the guys buried on the bench don't make the trip. So while you can play the second string, you can't completely clear your bench like at home.

Is that going to be a thing? David Dawson playing on the DL? I like the idea of getting him some reps there because next year is his last year of eligibility and if he's not going to be in the line up on the OL, he can help the team as a depth player at NT. We lose a lot of DL after this season and DT is a tough spot for true frosh to contribute. Having a 5th year senior 300+ dude in there for depth would be a big help.
October 9th, 2016 at 10:24 AM ^
Yes, he played everyone who made the trip. But that wasn't our full roster.
There are about 110 players on the team. Only 70 get to travel. If the game were played in A2, a lot of those other 40 (minus the redshirts) would have gotten in. For example, Alex Malzone would have probably gotten a series in the 4th quarter. So at home, this might have actually been a slightly lower-scoring game than on the road.

Winning with extreme prejudice.
October 8th, 2016 at 11:25 PM ^
These are the most lopsided victories since Schembechler arrived...
1971: 63-7 over Iowa
1971: 61-7 over Indiana
1975: 69-0 over Northwestern
1976: 70-14 over Navy
1981: 70-21 over Illinois
1986: 69-13 over Illinois
1988: 62-14 over Wisconsin
1992: 61-7 over Houston
1992: 63-13 over Minnesota
2009: 63-6 over Delaware State
2012: 63-13 over UMass
2016: 63-3 over Hawaii
The second and third stringers gave up the points in the majority of those games. Tonight's game was just...insane.
October 8th, 2016 at 11:39 PM ^
October 8th, 2016 at 11:53 PM ^
...since the '39 game against Chicago.
That game was a lot more competitive than this one, though--the score got bad because of all the turnovers, but yards were 461-134, first downs were 11-6. It wasn't anything like what we saw today.
October 9th, 2016 at 1:30 AM ^
Hey I was at the 1975 69-0 win over Northwestern. In those days the drinking age was actually 18. I know I was there but after the first quarter I don't remember the game much...
October 9th, 2016 at 2:51 AM ^
2011 Michigan's 58-0 victory over Minnesota belongs on that list. That was the best, most complete performance by a Michigan team in Hoke's short tenure.
October 9th, 2016 at 6:35 AM ^
We only completed 8 passes for 119 yards - and still won by 78.
October 9th, 2016 at 7:27 AM ^
in 1975, and up until last night, that game was the most one-sided gsme I remember. But this game was just absurd.Jill www
October 9th, 2016 at 10:22 AM ^
Margin aside, when was the last time we even scored this many points? Was it also that Chicago game?
Was our last 70-point game '81 Illinois?

I can't get over 39 yards of offense. There is no answers for Rutgers this season.
