Five keys to Ohio State winning big over Rutgers

Ohio State is set to host Greg Schiano and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Saturday night. Here are five keys to winning big in prime time.

Justin Fields has been outstanding and he just needs to be himself

One thing we know is that Justin Fields has been lights-out this season. Going into a game against a Rutgers team that is struggling against the pass, Fields should be able to continue to put up some big numbers. The Scarlet Knights have not only struggled in coverage, but they have also struggled in pass-rushing. The more time teams give Fields, the more he is going to be able to shred the defense.

As long as Fields plays within the game and doesn’t get overly confident against Rutgers, he’ll lead OSU to victory. Rutgers has shown it can score points itself, so if it comes to it, Fields can easily keep this offense ahead of anything Rutgers does. Watch for him to connect early and often with his receivers.

Key Two: The front seven gets pressure…and a lot of it
