PISCATAWAY — Ohio State heads into its meeting with Rutgers this week off a bye, which doesn't bode well for the Scarlet Knights based on history.
Give Urban Meyer more than a week to prepare for an opponent, and it usually spells a loss for said opponent.
In 15 seasons as a collegiate head coach, Meyer boasts a 20-1 record coming off regular-season byes. A Meyer-coached team hasn't lost following an idle week since his first season as head coach at Bowling Green in 2001. Meyer has won 19 straight post-bye games since then.
