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.

Ohio State is a cohesive team

Letdown? Nope, not with this team.

The OSU coaching staff has done a great job of creating a culture of “brotherhood” in Columbus. Each man looks out for the next and wants to perform because of the close bond with each other.

That alone keeps the team from looking ahead. Each performance is a reflection on the unit as a whole, not the individual. Even if there’s some adversity on Saturday night, the team will keep fighting and pull each other through the fire.

We don’t expect it to get to that anyway though because the leaders and culture of the team won’t let it happen. It’s the type of bond each program strives for. This Ohio State team has it.
