Here’s how you can watch Saturday evening’s Michigan vs Rutgers game from Piscataway online.

Michigan is experiencing one heck of a program turnaround under Jim Harbaugh. For the past seven years, or so, the Wolverines have been down in the dumps, but since the start of 2015, they’re 15-3. Michigan is one the comeback thanks to the second-year head coach.

In fact, the Wolverines are ranked No. 4 through five weeks of the 2016 campaign and that’s impressive given the fact that Wilton Speight is just an average quarterback. In his first year as the starter, Speight has passed for 1,094 yards and 10 touchdowns with just two picks.

Jehu Chesson was supposed to be the breakout receiver, but that’s been Amara Darboh thus far. Jake Butt has also become the best tight end in the Big Ten. De’Veon Smith leads a strong run game, but it’s the Wolverines’ defense that does most of the damage.

Rutgers, on the other hand, also has a new coach at the helm. Former Ohio State assistant Chris Ash is in his first year, but the Scarlet Knights are in the rebuilding phase, posting a 2-3 record after getting blown out by Ohio State 58-0 last week.

Chris Laviano might be holding this team back a bit while starting at quarterback, but he’s the best option until Ash can recruit someone else. He has passed for 680 yards and five touchdowns, but he’s completing less than 50 percent of his passes.

If there’s one guy Michigan should be keeping an eye on, it’s human Swiss Army Knife Janarion Grant who can do it all. He has rushed for three touchdowns, leads the team in receiving and can return punts and kicks with the best of them.
