Michigan will take on Rutgers this weekend as the Wolverines look to get back on track following a disappointing 13-6 overtime loss to Indiana.

While the focus will be on what happens this weekend, Michigan and Rutgers have a series history that dates back to 2014, when the Scarlet Knights joined the Big Ten Conference. The Wolverines enter this year's matchup with an all-time record of 9-1 against Rutgers, including a perfect 5-0 record in Ann Arbor.

Michigan has won nine consecutive games against the Scarlet Knights after dropping the first-ever meeting between the programs in 2014. Michigan's longest winning streak in the series is nine games, beginning in 2015. Rutgers' only victory came in that inaugural meeting, meaning the Scarlet Knights have never put together consecutive wins against the Wolverines.

The most recent matchup between Michigan and Rutgers came in 2023, with the Wolverines cruising to a 31-7 victory in Ann Arbor.

Rutgers actually struck first, taking a 7-0 lead on a 69-yard touchdown pass from Gavin Wimsatt to Christian Dremel. However, Michigan responded with 31 unanswered points to take complete control of the contest.

Quarterback JJ McCarthy completed 15-of-21 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown, while running back Blake Corum rushed for 97 yards and two scores. Michigan's defense also played a major role, holding Rutgers to just seven points and getting a 71-yard interception return for a touchdown from Mike Sainristil.

The victory helped Michigan improve to 4-0 on its way to an undefeated season and eventual national championship. That game was played in Ann Arbor, while this year's matchup will take place at Rutgers, giving the Scarlet Knights a home-field advantage.

Over the last five meetings, Michigan has gone a perfect 5-0 against Rutgers.

Although Michigan has dominated the series, one of the most memorable meetings came in 2020.

Rutgers pushed Michigan to three overtimes in Piscataway before the Wolverines escaped with a 48-42 victory. Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara came off the bench and threw for 260 yards and four touchdowns, helping the Wolverines overcome an early 17-0 deficit.

The game remains one of the most competitive meetings between the programs.

Of course, past results don't determine what happens on Saturday. Both programs have changed considerably since their last meeting in 2023.

Michigan enters this matchup looking to fix an offense that has struggled throughout the season under head coach Kyle Whittingham. Establishing the running game has been a major priority, and Rutgers presents an opportunity to do exactly that.

The Scarlet Knights rank No. 128 nationally against the run, which could create favorable opportunities for Michigan running backs Jordan Marshall and Savion Hiter.

Still, Rutgers has shown in previous meetings that it can make Michigan uncomfortable, particularly when playing at home. The Wolverines will look to extend their winning streak against the Scarlet Knights to 10 games, while Rutgers will attempt to secure just its second victory in series history.

With another chapter about to be written, Saturday's matchup will add to a series that has included 10 previous meetings, several blowouts and a few surprisingly competitive contests.
