Brandon Peters fired a pass short of an open Sean McKeon on fourth-and-3, and the Wolveriens turned the ball over on downs back to the Scarlet Knights.
With 5:28 remaining, it's still a comfortable lead for the Maize and Blue, who lead 35-14.
Michigan used the ground game to bleed some clock and get across midfield. After Ty Isaac left the game due to injury (Kareem Walker is also out with a sprained ankle), Brandon Peters hit Karan Higdon for an eight-yard gain and a first down at the Rutgers 35.
The Wolverines have racked up 327 yards on the ground today.
