Three reasons Rutgers could cause problems for the Buckeyes

Very few people are expecting Rutgers to hang with Ohio State, but with nothing to lose, Rutgers could surprise Saturday night.

Rutgers heads into ‘Shoe to take on a very talented and very favored Ohio State football team. While most people think the Buckeyes will walk through this game, there are a few things that could this one to be closer than anyone expects.

But before we jump into the three things, the first thing I want to point out is that without fans, the games have been a little odd. We can see that teams most certainly feed off the fans and that energy has to be somewhat self-created. Rutgers coming into Columbus could lull this team a little if it is not competitive.

Alas, back to three reasons why the Scarlet Knights could pose some issues for Ohio State.
