Jim Harbaugh was happy with the performance he saw out of quarterback Brandon Peters today. With Michigan and Rutgers tied at 7-7, Harbaugh made the decision to take John O’Korn out of the game, and put Peters in. When asked if Peters exceeded expectations, Harbaugh said yes. It’s easy to exceed expectations when there were few blemishes on his stat line, and most possessions ended with points on the scoreboard. Peters was 10-14 for 124 yards and a touchdown on the day.
Here is a recap of Harbaugh’s comments about Peters at his post-game presser:
- “From the first time he went in there, feeling the deep zone, feeling the linebackers drop, just taking that extra half second to take a breath and hit the check-down, it was good ball.
