Three reasons Ohio State beats Rutgers big on Saturday

Ohio State welcomes Rutgers for a night affair in the ‘Shoe Saturday. Here are three reasons the Buckeyes put on a show and win big.

Team speed

Part of that talent in Columbus is built on speed. Ohio State has always recruited players that can run, but under Urban Meyer, that was made a priority. So much so that the Buckeyes unofficially became one of the “fastest” programs in the country.

That team speed is still there, and it’s still being recruited. You can have the best player development around, or the strongest and most well-coached squad, but when OSU gets its players out in space, or tracks down plays on defense, it’s game over for Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights just won’t be able to keep up to the fleet of foot Saturday. Sure, there are some guys that can run on Rutgers, but not at almost every single position on the field.

Big time advantage good guys.
