Ohio State beats Rutgers: 5 things we learned in victory

Ohio State took care of business against Rutgers on Saturday. Here’s five things we learned.

Okay, so maybe it wasn’t quite the score most people projected, but Ohio State still more than took care of business against a Rutgers team that’s just looking to turn the page into a new era.

Like most games, the Buckeyes raced out to a big lead, then cruised from there. The second and third teamers may have took it on the chin just a wee-bit toward the tail-end of the game, but it was still good experience and something the whole team can grow from.

Next up is the big one against Penn State, but first we take time to reflect with five things we learned from the Ohio State win over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Anyone can make the spectacular play at anytime

Yeah, you know about Justin Fields, J.K. Dobbins, and Chase Young, but there’s so much NFL talent on this roster it’s a bit ridiculous. I think we’re going to look back on this year’s team and be absolutely floored by how many kids end up playing ball on Sundays.

Wide-receiver Chris Olave made a draw-dropping catch, cornerback Shaun Wade made a highlight-reel interception, and they aren’t the only ones to get into the spotlight.

Again, maybe it didn’t go as well with after the first-teamers as you would have thought against Rutgers, but this team has a depth of talent maybe nobody else in the country has.

WATCH: Ohio State head coach Ryan Day press conference previewing Rutgers

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with the media Tuesday to preview Rutgers in his weekly press conference. Catch it all here.

After making quick and light work of Maryland last week. Actually, after taking care of business in every single game this year by a wide margin, Ohio State now travels to Piscataway to take on a rather unassuming Rutgers team that has yet to notch a Big Ten victory in 2019.

The game isn’t expected to be much of a contest, but don’t tell that to Buckeye head coach Ryan Day. He’s trying to keep his team motivated and focused for road game.

Day met with the media as he always does for his weekly press conference, this time to preview Maryland. And as we do every week, we archive it for you so you can catch up.
