The Buckeyes have dominated the 10 all-time matchups between Ohio State and Rutgers, 512-117. Here's a look at the decade of dominance:
- 2023: Ohio State 35, Rutgers 19
- 2022: Ohio State 49, Rutgers 10
- 2021: Ohio State 52, Rutgers 13
- 2020: Ohio State 49, Rutgers 27
- 2019: Ohio State 56, Rutgers 21
- 2018: Ohio State 52, Rutgers 3
- 2017: Ohio State 56, Rutgers 0
- 2016: Ohio State 58, Rutgers 0
- 2015: Ohio State 49, Rutgers 7
- 2014: Ohio State 56, Rutgers 17
On Saturday, the Buckeyes are 32.5-point favorites — an appropriate number for the No. 1 team in the nation against a 5-5 opponent, especially one that ranks No. 122 nationally in total defense (425.5 yards allowed per game).
Still, Ohio State will be tested. Carnell Tate and Jeremiah Smith will miss the contest with injuries, as will five-star freshman Quincy Porter, leaving Julian Sayin without three of his top six targets. The defense, meanwhile, will face a Rutgers offense led by a quarterback (Athan Kaliakmanis) who has thrown for more yards than Sayin, a 1,000-yard rusher (Antwan Raymond) and a 900-yard receiver (KJ Duff).
