The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Ohio State’s 35-16 win over Rutgers

Ohio State played an ugly first half of football, trailing at halftime 9-7, but made up for it with a strong second half as they defeated Rutgers, 35-16. The Buckeyes outscored the Scarlet Knights 28-7 in the final two quarters, including a long defensive touchdown and two receiving TDs by Marvin Harrison Jr. to put the game away. TreVeyon Henderson was excellent once again, while the defense continued its bend-don’t-break style despite letting up more on the ground that Jim Knowles probably would like. At the end of the day, Ohio State is 9-0, and simply in the ‘survive and advance’ portion of the schedule as it prepares for Nov.
