Ohio State vs. Rutgers: Game Grades, Analysis for the Buckeyes

No. 1 Ohio State hadn't had a truly dominant performance on both sides of the ball this season, but that changed in a big way when it blasted Rutgers 49-7 in High Point Solutions Stadium Saturday night.

Quarterback J.T. Barrett shined in his first start of the season for the Buckeyes (8-0), leading an offense that piled up 528 total yards and averaged 7.5 yards per play. On the other side of the ball, Joey Bosa and the Silver Bullets flexed their muscle, giving up just 293 yards of total offense to the Scarlet Knights (3-4), 90 of which came on the final drive against the second-team unit.
