Michigan ends Rutgers’ Big Ten streak

Redshirt freshman quarterback Brandon Peters came off the bench and helped Michigan score touchdowns on his first three drives, allowing the Wolverines to pull away from Rutgers, 35-14, Saturday, ending the Scarlet Knights’ Big Ten win streak at two.

Jim Harbaugh finally benched quarterback John O’Korn after another shaky performance. Peters took full advantage, completing 10 of 14 passes for 124 yards with a TD. O’Korn, starting a fourth straight game in place of injured starter Wilton Speight, was 3-of-6 for 13 yards with an interception and recovered two of his own fumbles off snaps.

Michigan (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten) broke a fourth-place tie in the East division with the Scarlet Knights (3-5, 2-3), who kept it close while O’Korn was in the game.

Janarion Grant ran for a 65-yard score early in the second quarter, pulling the Scarlet Knights into a 7all tie.
