Jordan Fuller to Start Against Rutgers After Missing Season Opener

After missing last week's season opener against Oregon State, it seems Jordan Fuller is good to go as the Buckeye safety was announced as a starter against Rutgers on Saturday.

In his absence during week one, safeties Isaiah Pryor and Jahsen Wint made their first starts after being listed as co-starters opposite of Fuller on the team's week-one depth chart. Pryor got the start opposite of Fuller on Saturday, but Wint is expected to see first-team reps.

The Buckeye defense allowed 31-points to Oregon State in the win, a performance defensive coordinator Greg Schiano called "unacceptable." He said getting Fuller back would be a huge boost to the defense, especially in terms of tackling in the secondary.
