We share our final thoughts, questions and players to watch before Ohio State wraps up its season-opening five-game homestand against Rutgers on Saturday.
Ohio State has been dominant in its last three games and every time it’s played Rutgers. The Buckeyes will look to keep both of those streaks going on Saturday at the Shoe.
J.T. Barrett set the school touchdown pass record against Rutgers, Billy Anders caught 12 passes for 162 yards and the Buckeyes put up 80 on Miami (Ohio) in past Oct. 1 games.
Despite Denzel Burke's expected return, his hand will continue to be monitored and Ryan Day issued no update on Cameron Brown's health status this week.
Brian Fonseca, who covers Rutgers for NJ.com, says he’ll be surprised if the Scarlet Knights achieve a winning record this season even though they’re 3-1 so far.
Ryan Day said Denzel Burke will “be ready to roll this week” after missing the Wisconsin game with a hand injury, but provided no update on Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Cameron Brown.
Former Buckeye wide receiver Chris Olave is the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Month for his performance in his first three games as a New Orleans Saint.
Jyaire Brown’s teammates and coaches weren’t surprised by his performance in his first start because of the competitiveness they’ve seen from him on the practice field.
Ryan Day's been a little more willing to lean on Ohio State's run game so far this year compared to last season and offensive line coach Justin Frye is a big reason why.
