Sep 30 | Football
Despite Rutgers holding Ohio State to a three-and-out on its opening drive, the Buckeyes would score on its following drive for a 7-0 lead five minutes into the contest. As the RU offense was unable to counter, the Scarlet Knights kept it a one-possession game at the end of the opening stanza. However, OSU would break away on the scoreboard with four touchdowns in the second quarter and three more across the second half for the game's final margin.
Rutgers enters a bye this upcoming week before returning to action on Saturday, Oct. 14 at Illinois. Kickoff time will be determined at a later date.
