Ohio State entered Saturday coming off an open week following a huge road win against Oklahoma. It seemed like the perfect storm for a hangover game.
Actually, it probably was the perfect storm for a hangover game. It took the Buckeyes nearly 25 minutes to score double digits and Rutgers was "in the game" most of the first half.
Here's the thing though – it didn't really matter that it was a hangover game because Ohio State is that good at football and Rutgers is that ungood.
Even if the game was close at the beginning, the talent disparity was evident and striking; the Buckeyes were never going to lose that game.
