Before each Ohio State game, Eleven Warriors catches up with a media member who covers the opposing team to get his or her perspective on the Buckeyes' upcoming opponent.
As Ohio State prepares to play Rutgers once again on Saturday, we check in with James Kratch of NJ.com – who's been an annual guest for this column for several years ahead of the Buckeyes’ matchups with the Scarlet Knights – to get his perspective on the improvement Rutgers has made in Greg Schiano's second season leading the program.
Ohio State has won all of its previous seven matchups with Rutgers by at least 22 points, but the Scarlet Knights are off to a 3-1 start this season, with their only loss coming by just seven points against Michigan.
