The Scarlet Knights know what's at stake Saturday when they host the nation's newly anointed top-ranked team.
Ohio State Buckeyes running back Miyan Williams runs for a touchdown against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in the second half.Nobody wanted to make any bold predictions or provide bulletin-board material. That’s understandable. The No. 1-ranked team in the country is coming to Piscataway, andwants to control its own narrative.
“We know what our past was with Ohio State,” Melton said. “We know what the score was, deficits and all that.” Rutgers will throw its most talented defense in years against Ohio State. The Scarlet Knights rank second nationally in passing yards allowed, ninth in total yards allowed and 12th in scoring defense. After a run of three straight quarterbacks that were drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft, Ohio State enters with an offense that has underachieved by its own lofty standards., the Buckeyes rank 38th in scoring offense and 40th in total offense.
Rutgers, meanwhile, can fall back on the success that’s got them to 6-2. The Scarlet Knights reached bowl eligibility and will attack the final four games of the season with the same mentality that’s led to success through the first eight.
