Michigan avoided a second consecutive upset scare on Saturday, holding off Rutgers with a crucial performance from Tommy Carr. The Wolverines entered the game as heavy favorites but found themselves in a tight contest until Carr's late-game heroics secured the victory.
The win keeps Michigan's season on track after a close call the previous week. Rutgers pushed the favored Wolverines to the brink before Carr's decisive plays turned the tide in the final minutes.
