H
ow close did Michigan come to end-
ing a three-week skein of misery?
Just close enough to make losing hurt like
getting jousted in the sternum.
Just close enough that head coach Brady
Hoke didn't mind calling out officials for
dropping the ball on a crucial call at the
end of the game. Just close enough that the
Wolverines (2-4 overall, 0-2 Big Ten) face
a season on a bowl-less brink.
"It's extremely frustrating, playing the
Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova went 22-of-39 passing for a career-high 404 yards and three touchdowns to lead
the Scarlet Knights past Michigan.
