COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Tariq Cole fell on the sword.
The Rutgers co-captain and veteran left tackle called himself out after the Scarlet Knights' 52-3 loss to No. 4 Ohio State on Saturday, saying the hellacious sack by Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa that knocked Rutgers quarterback Artur Sitkowski out of the game was "100 percent my fault."
"It was completely my fault," Cole said. "I take full responsibility for it. The d-end came off the line, and I wasn't really ready for it. I punched him, he swiped my hands, got off my block and sacked him.
