LONG SHOT Rutgers is a 10-point underdog at home to Michigan. The Scarlet Knights have been outscored 120-7 in their last two games against Michigan in Piscataway, New Jersey. But they’re improving since the return of coach Greg Schiano and Michigan is struggling, having lost three of four for its worst start since 1967. IMPACT PLAYER Illinois linebacker Jake Hansen must be at the top of his game, and get lots of help from his defensive teammates, if the Illini are going to steal a road win against Nebraska. The Huskers have run up huge offensive numbers in the last two meetings. Hansen had 15 tackles in a road win against Rutgers last week. He made 12 stops, forced two fumbles and recovered one against Nebraska last year. ___ More AP college football: https://apnews.com/Collegefootball and http://www.twitter.com/AP_Top25
