Saturday's result was never in doubt.
Ohio State, a 38-point favorite on Rutgers, raced out to a 35-3 lead by the time it went into the locker room at halftime. Sparked by several trick plays, the Scarlet Knights attempted to keep it close, score 24 second-half points, but they never came close to closing the gap and ultimately fell, 49-27.
Did any major issues arise? What happened both to help Ohio State pull out to a lead and for Rutgers to start scoring? We rewound the film and picked out 11 plays – or sequences of plays – to help explain the 22-point win and what can be learned from it as the Buckeyes move toward the midpoint of their regular season.
