The bad news for Rutgers on Saturday was a 49-0 loss to Michigan State.
The good news: The Scarlet Knights are done playing teams from Michigan for the season.
In games against the Spartans and Wolverines in 2016, Rutgers lost by a combined 127-0 scoreline. If you think that figure is bad, check out the rest of the gory details from the two matchups:
| vs. Michigan | vs. Michigan State | |
|---|---|---|
| Points Scored | 0 | 0 |
| Points Allowed | 78 | 49 |
| Passing Yards | 5 | 40 |
| Rushing Yards | 34 | 109 |
| Total Yards | 39 | 149 |
| 1st Downs | 2 | 8 |
| Total Yards Allowed | 600 | 440 |
A total of just 45 passing yards through the two games is astounding. With each game lasting four quarters, that means the Scarlet Knights' passing attack averaged just over 5 yards per quarter.
Plays like this one from Saturday offer a better explanation for that total:
