Ohio State improved to 10-0 yesterday with a workmanlike 56-21 decision over lowly Rutgers in Piscataway, New Jersey.
Ryan Day's squad raced out to a 35-7 halftime lead and made it 42-7 on the first possession of the second half before emptying the bench.
Justin Fields set a new career-high in passing yards, J.K. Dobbins ran for two scores and Chris Olave posted a career-high 139 receiving yards as the Buckeyes racked up 594 total yards of offense.
With the reserves on the field, things got sloppy but what matters is Ohio State emerged relatively healthy knowing Penn State and Michigan sit just over the horizon.
