Tommy Carr runs for two TDs, passes for one in Michigan's 28-21 win over Rutgers

PISCATAWAY, N.J (AP) --- Michigan's season-long offensive woes finally eased
Saturday as freshman quarterback Tommy Carr led the Wolverines to 427 yards of
offense in a 28-21 win over Rutgers.
It marked the second most yards the Wolverines (5-3, 2-3 Big Ten) have
accumulated this fall and the most in a conference game. The 28 points are the
most Michigan has scored in a Big Ten game this season.
Carr, who started his second game for the Wolverines since taking over for
Bryce Underwood, was 23 of 28 for 266 yards. He passed for one touchdown and
ran for two, including a 9-yard score that broke a 21-21 tie with 4:19
remaining.
His 15-yard run in the third quarter gave Michigan a 21-13 lead. He hit JJ
Buchanan on a six-yard TD in the first quarter.
Rutgers (2-6, 1-4) tied it at 21 on Clay Thevenin's one-yard bolt with 11:43 to
play.
AJ Surace, who was filling in for Rutgers' starting quarterback Dylan Lonergan,
who was out with an undisclosed injury, completed just 3 of 12 passes for 123
yards. But one of those passes was an 80-yard touchdown to a wide-open Jourdin
Houston.
For the first time this season, Michigan scored on its first two possessions.
The takeaway Michigan's running back by committee of Savion Hiter, Bryson Kuzdzal and Jordan Marshall combined for just 113 yards. Carr picked up an additional 54 yards. The Wolverines have yet to produce a 100-yard rushing game this season. Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff, a pre-season AP second team All-America, left the game in the first quarter after getting hit on a pass interference call. He came back onto the field after one play but didn't appear for the remainder of the game.
