Know the foe
One week after pushing Michigan to the brink in a 20-13 road loss, Rutgers received a humbling at home from No. 11 Ohio State, 52-13. A Scarlet Knights defense that was allowing fewer than 14 points per game coming in surrendered 45 in the first half alone, Ohio State ran for more than 200 yards and threw for five touchdown passes.
