The Ohio State Buckeyes are coming off a “hey, that was much better” victory over the Akron Zips where they destroyed the MAC opponent, 59-7. Everyone keeps saying, “but it’s just Akron” and I am aware, but keeping any opponent to seven points in this day and age of college football is a major accomplishment.
Although they suffered a loss, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights had an impressive week as well, barely losing to the two-touchdown favorite Michigan Wolverines, 20-13. Rutgers stopped Michigan cold in the second half and had an admirable comeback that fell just a bit too short.
The Buckeyes have dominated this series since the Scarlet Knights joined the league back in 2014, winning all seven previous meetings. We see ample reason why that trend continues and provide you with five reasons why Ohio State will make it eight in a row.
