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 literally has nothing to lose

Rutgers was not expected to win much this season. However, here we are and they’ve already won more Big Ten games than they have in two years. Okay, it’s just one game (1-1), but still … progress. I’m not saying this team is shocking the world, but it has nothing to lose and is playing for experience and fun. That type of team can be dangerous. Just ask Michigan State.

If you watch the video above you will see Rutgers played all the way to the end of the game and was literally doing everything it could. Greg Schiano is always a little bit of a wild card and the way his team is playing for him makes this team more dangerous than past years. If the Buckeyes look past Rutgers, a team this loose could put a scare in the program one week after Halloween.
