The game plan for a win is very simple for Ohio State. Keep on doing what they have been doing and don’t look past Rutgers. Like it or lump it, teams need to win and need to make an impression too.
Especially versus teams considered inferior. Ohio State matches up quite well on both sides of the ball with Rutgers. C.J. Stroud and the rest of the offense have hit their stride in recent weeks. They seem to score at will.
Stroud did throw his first pick of the year against Wisconsin. And Rutgers has picked off five passes through its first four games. On defense, the Bucks may be heading into the game a little bruised up. Both of their starting cornerbacks were out versus the Badgers. It’s not known if either Denzel Burke or Cam Brown will return this week. Rutgers doesn’t have a high-caliber offense, but they do have a great receiver in Aron Cruickshank.
