College football media reacts to Michigan-Rutgers 3OT absolute zaniness
By John Buhler
Michigan football vs. Rutgers football was the content Twitter deserves.
Michigan football needed triple overtime to hold off Rutgers football on Saturday night.
It was one of the games where it looked like the Michigan Wolverines were going to spiral out of control even more. Quarterback Joe Milton got benched in favor of Cade McNamara, who helped spark the Wolverines’ comeback vs. Greg Schiano’s Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Everybody went through all the emotions on Twitter from this game. Thankfully, it has come to an end finally.

Michigan may have beaten Rutgers, but this is not a good team at all
McNamara may be the guy who ends up saving Jim Harbaugh’s job at Michigan.

They call it free football but what they don’t tell you is pain doesn’t cost anything either.

However, it still feels like a divorce is inevitably coming in Ann Arbor at the end of the season.

Again, if I told you it would be 12:02 am and Rutgers would have a chance to win in triple OT against Michigan, I think you might say, "WUT?"

Michigan with the game-sealing interception, avoids the nightmare.

Rutgers looks to be much improved under Schiano, but Michigan is supposed to be Michigan.

And that’s the game! Michigan gets the defensive stop and will escape with a 48-42 3OT victory over Rutgers.
