Saturday, marking the ninth straight game in which Ohio State has hung 49 or more points on the Scarlet Knights, the longest such streak by any team against a single opponent in the AP Poll era.Rutgers actually jumped out to their first-ever lead against Ohio State in this one, capitalizing on a muffed punt from Emeka Egbuka to go up 7-0 just four minutes into the game.
Schiano loves him some trickery, so the onside attempt wasn't a surprise, but it said everything about the uphill climb Rutgers faced. Schiano knew his team faced a massive talent disparity. Ryan Day knew that. Hell, the whole stadium knew it. For Rutgers to have any chance in this one, it would need miracles. It got none.
The five rushing touchdowns tied the single-game Ohio State record held by Pete Johnson and Keith Byars and on his 70-yard third-quarter score, he showed excellent speed to complement the elusive yet hard running he showed all game. In his last two outings, Williams has 290 yards on the ground – at an impressive 9.1 a pop – and seven rushing touchdowns.Despite a rash of injuries on the defensive side of the ball, you can't help but think that unit is getting better and better every week.
Saturday against the Scarlet Knights, the Buckeye defense surrendered just two big plays the entire game: an 11-yard run in the second quarter and a 26-yard pass in the third. For context, the Ohio State offense rang up 13 big plays when they had the ball.
