This isn’t your Rutgers squad of years past. Greg Schiano has this program moving in the right direction and I expect this game to be a tough road contest. Look for this game to be close early as both teams battle things out in the trenches, but the depth of Ohio State wins out in the end with some late work done on the ground after continued body blows that take a toll in the fourth quarter.

Rutgers is much improved from last season and they have an underrated defense, but it won’t be enough to stop this Buckeye attack. If C.J. Stroud was truly inconsistent due to injury and he is 100 percent, this squad is good enough to put huge points on the board.

Ultimately, I believe it will be too much for Rutgers to get up for back-to-back games of this magnitude. The Scarlet Knights gave everything they had to try and upend the Wolverines, I just don’t believe they’ll have much left in the tank. Ohio State cruises to an easy victory.
