PISCATAWAY, N.J. – It took almost five weeks, but Ohio State's offense finally connected on the deep ball.

J.T. Barrett found Johnnie Dixon for gains of 70 and 39 yards and also found Binjimen Victor for gains of 46 and 23 yards as Ohio State plastered Rutgers on the road, 56-0, on Saturday night.

The big gains came in part because Rutgers played man coverage on most of Ohio State's receivers, allowing them to win one-on-one match-ups. Barrett said after the game that at the start of the game, though, he was trying to be perfect which resulted on a few early misses.
