by Ohio State’s offense looked solid against Penn State and could have put up more points than they did. Fields was fantastic, Olave and Wilson were once again great, and the run game improved from week one.
Expect Ryan Day to be aggressive with play calling. He will most likely attack quickly and take some big shots to put Rutgers in an immediate hole. It would not be surprising to even see a trick play come out of the bags just to test it in a game setting.
The Buckeyes will plan on giving Master Teague and Trey Sermon plenty of touches throughout the game, especially if the o-line is dominating and they have a big lead early.
The defense was swarming to the ball last weekend. As soon as a player touched the ball, six Ohio State players would surround for the tackle. Expect the same energy and hustle out of the entire unit.
Tommy Togiai and Haskell Garrett were the stars on the defensive line in the first two weeks. Johnathon Cooper also has played quite well and was recognized as a standout senior this past week. Now it is the time for a fourth person to breakout on the line. Will that fourth person be Zach Harrison, Tyler Friday, Tyreke Smith or Javontae Jean-Baptiste? This weekend could help find the answer.
