As Ohio State turns to Barrett, Rutgers rolls with Laviano

No. 1 Ohio State turns to J.T. Barrett to lead its offense against Rutgers on Saturday after seven games of ups and downs with Cardale Jones as the starter. The Scarlet Knights have had no such issues with their quarterback.

Chris Laviano has seized the job for Rutgers after a preseason competition that did not get nearly the attention as the one making headlines in Columbus, Ohio.

Laviano is second in the Big Ten in passer rating (156.14), leads in completion percentage (69.3) and is coming off a career game.
