Viewing Guide: How to watch Ohio State host Rutgers in first B1G East Division game
COLUMBUS — Ohio State prepares for its final game of an impressive five-week homestand.
The Buckeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) end that stretch of games inside Ohio Stadium with a gamer against Rutgers for their first Big Ten East Division game of the season.
No. 3 Ohio State is fresh off its first conference win of the season after a 52-21 trouncing against Wisconsin. Once again coach Ryan Day called an impressive game and the offense totaled over 500 yards.
While quarterback C.J. Stroud did throw his first interception of the year, he also tossed five touchdowns and 281 passing yards with just 10 incompletions. Running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams combined for 222 yards and two touchdowns as the Buckeyes ran at will against the Badgers.
The Buckeyes defensively put together another impressive performance. Safety Tanner McCalister recorded his first interception as a Buckeye during Wisconsin’s opening drive and as a whole, Ohio State limited Wisconsin to 296 yards.
The Buckeyes now have the Scarlet Knights making the 514-mile venture west for a Saturday clash.
