As I wrote earlier this week, Ohio State will be going on the road to face a very experienced and well-coached Rutgers team on Saturday. The extra year granted because of the pandemic played a role in the Scarlet Knights having a bunch of veteran football players on their roster, and as a result, their two-deep looks much different than that of the Buckeyes. The only “juniors” listed as starters on Rutgers’ roster are actually fourth-year players essentially getting a do-over of 2020. More on one of those fourth-year juniors in just a minute…
Most of the players on this team have dealt with a lot of losing, and are hoping they stuck around just long enough for Greg Schiano to right the ship.
