Ohio State vs. Rutgers: Live Score and Highlights
After a rare early-season bye week, Urban Meyer and No. 2 Ohio State are ready to get back at it on Saturday afternoon as they play host to Chris Ash and Rutgers.
The Buckeyes (3-0) are flying high after slicing through their nonconference slate. Quarterback J.T. Barrett is completing 67.1 percent of his passes and coming off a four-touchdown performance in a 45-24 demolition of Oklahoma on the road.
That’s the challenge facing Ash—Ohio State’s former co-defensive coordinator from 2014-15—and the Scarlet Knights (2-2) on Saturday. Their defense is improving, ranking 28th nationally in passing yards allowed, but they haven’t faced a quarterback as dangerous as Barrett.
