Ohio State football at Rutgers for the final time as Big Ten East opponents.
It’s the mirror image of what Ryan Day built in his first our seasons, and what reflects back is not always pretty.This is how the Buckeyes will have to beat Michigan in three weeks. After nine games, we can declare it the only way this team can beat an opponent anything close to that caliber.Ohio State loses starting safety following pick-six against RutgersIt also means they will be vulnerable to defeat before that.
In the meantime, a defense that started the game down starters Denzel Burke and Lathan Ransom and lost Josh Proctor along the way kept adjusting, stiffening and repelling opponents. Proctor’s tipped pass turned into a 93-yard touchdown return for Josh Hancock. That flipped a 9-7 deficit into a 14-9 lead.
What matters is the breakout anticipated all season – the one indicative of a team burying its flaws, not winning in spite of them – simply has not shown up. It shows up in flashes. Harrison was bottled up almost all game until he made a clutch fourth-down touchdown grab, for instance. Other weeks, he essentially is the offense.The third-year running back’s 80 receiving yards, on five receptions, included 66 yards after the catch.
