November in college football is often just about finding ways to win, and that’s exactly what Ohio State did Saturday on the road against a much-improved Rutgers squad.
After taking a 9-7 deficit into the locker room, the Buckeyes got a massive 93-yard pick-six from Jordan Hancock on a pass deflected by Josh Proctor and found their footing offensively in a 35-16 victory thanks to another big performance from TreVeyon Henderson and a quietly solid afternoon from Kyle McCord, interception notwithstanding.
More injury issues popped up for Ohio State, however, and its wide receiver production was limited by the Scarlet Knights’ scheme while a key “miscommunication” happened on a punt.
