Rutgers may not be the most exciting Week 2 opponent for Ohio State, but the Scarlet Knights should be a great tune-up game, especially for the Buckeyes defense.
Rutgers’ offense is extremely unlikely to even provide the same challenge that Oregon State’s provided last week, but then again, the Buckeyes’ problems allowing explosive plays were due more to assignment breakdowns than anything specifically to do with the Beavers’ offensive strengths.
