After a big time showdown with Penn State last weekend — which, in hindsight, doesn’t look all that big anymore — Ohio State got a bit of an easier draw this time around, as the Rutgers Scarlet Knights came to town for an under-the-lights battle in the Horseshoe. Greg Schiano made his return to Ohio Stadium with an improved Rutgers squad, but would it be enough to challenge Ryan Day and the Buckeyes on Saturday night?
The short answer is no.
Ohio State absolutely dominated early before taking their foot off the gas in the second half, defeating the Scarlet Knights 49-27.
