Respect

Respect was being thrown around a lot last week. After the 56-17 beat-down, I think Rutgers finally respects Ohio State.

Another week and another opponent's stats get sacked.

We all know that Ohio State defeated Rutgers 56-17, but the Buckeyes dominated the stat sheet as well.

It's always interesting to see how a team's stats change after playing Ohio State.

Below you will be able to compare Rutgers' stats before playing, and after playing, Ohio State.

Rutgers' defense came into the game holding opponents to under 22 points per game and 427 yards of offense. The Buckeyes gained 585 yards and put 56 on the scoreboard. If you haven't heard, this is the fourth-straight game Ohio State has scored 50+ points and 500+ yards.
