Michigan dismantled Rutgers 78-0 on Saturday in a game that was only surprising when it came to the lopsidedness of the final box score.

After the game, head coach Jim Harbaugh was asked about the play of all-everything athlete Jabrill Peppers, who was playing back in his native New Jersey for the first time. Not surprisingly Harbaugh lauded a ton of praise on the linebacker and brought up an interesting comparison for his ability to play all over the field.

“To be able to coach a guy like Jabrill Peppers is a real joy. There’s so much more. There’s nothing he can’t do. It’s the darndest thing I’ve ever seen. My humble opinion is we are looking for a Heisman Trophy winner, candidate,” Harbaugh said. “Jim Thorpe, it just came to me. Only player I can think of comparing Jabrill to.”
