Watch Ohio State’s Jordan Hancock with a pick six and social media reactions

Social media reacts to Ohio State taking the lead against Rutgers. #GoBucks

Once again this season, it’s the [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] defense who is carrying the offense. Kyle McCord and the Buckeye offense is struggling to move the ball with any kind of consistency and so it’s up to the defense to hold the rope.

Rutgers has been methodical in moving the ball down the field with time-consuming drives. The Scarlet Knights were on their way to the end zone when Josh Proctor made a perfectly timed hit on the receiver to pop the pass in the air. [autotag]Jordan Hancock[/autotag] picked it and raced 93 yards for the touchdown.

Let’s take a look at some of the best reactions from social media as Ohio State is now back on top.

Noah Ruggles named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week

In case you missed it, Noah Ruggles was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week Monday. #B1G

Making all of your field goals in a game in which a lot of them were attempted goes a long way in recognition, as it should. For his efforts against Iowa, Ohio State kicker Noah Ruggles was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week.

If it weren’t for Ruggles, Ohio State may not have scored in the first half. The Buckeyes got the ball in Iowa’s territory on four drives and stalled in all of them. No matter — Ruggles stepped up and went 4-of-4 and put 16 points on the board for OSU before the Buckeyes found their groove on offense in the second half.

Ruggles made field goals from 46, 41, 35, and 26 yards and also made all six of his extra points. For the season, the Ohio State kicker is 6-of-7 on field goal attempts this year and 47-for-47 in extra point attempts. Going back to last season, Ruggles is 26-of-28 on field goals and has made all 121 extra-point attempts.

Ruggles is the sixth Ohio State player to be recognized by the Big Ten in its weekly awards so far this season.
