Rutgers took an expected loss on Saturday at the Shoe against no. 3 Ohio State, it’s seventh consecutive defeat at the hands of the Buckeyes since joining the Big Ten. Coming in more than five touchdown underdogs after losing by an average of 47 points in six previous meetings, it didn’t appear this night would be much different as OSU led 35-3 at halftime.
And then something strange happened in the second half. Rutgers outplayed the best team in the Big Ten. They outscored the Buckeyes 24-14 after halftime and it was almost by even more before Artur Sitkowski fumbled in the red zone on the last drive of the game.
