Ohio State, Rutgers’ Coaches Get Into Verbal Exchange After 4Q Scrum

Ohio State cruised to a 49-10 victory against Rutgers in its homecoming game in Columbus.

But before all 60 minutes had been played inside "The Horseshoe" on Saturday, things got heated between Buckeyes coach Ryan Day and Rutgers coach Greg Schiano.

With a commanding 49-10 lead midway through the fourth quarter, Ohio State converted on a fake punt. Instead of booting the ball away, Buckeyes punter Jesse Mirco kept the ball himself and ran toward the right sideline before taking a big hit from Rutgers wide receiver Aron Cruickshank.

Following the late hit, a brief scrum broke out between players from both teams.
