Rutgers put a scare into No. 1 Ohio State, but wasted opportunities in the red zone would ultimately undo the Scarlet Knights.
converted a nine-yard pass to wide receiver JaQuae Jackson, the Buckeyes committed a defensive pass interference, Big Ten leading rusherThen came the recurring mistake that killed Rutgers in its two losses this season once again.
After three consecutive three-and-outs to open the game, the Scarlet Knights were gifted great field position after snuffing out a head-scratching fake punt from Ohio State. They marched inside the Buckeyes’ 10-yard line, but could not convert a third-and-six from the eight-yard line. Facing a fourth-and-2 from the four-yard line, Rutgers sent out kicker Jai Patel, who converted the 22-yard field goal.
After an incredible interception from linebacker Mohamed Toure, Rutgers marched down to the Ohio State two-yard line with a fresh set of downs. Two throwaways from Wimsatt later, Schiano sent out Patel to kick a field goal on third down, electing to take the points and the unprecedented halftime lead with five seconds remaining in the half.
Wimsatt’s lone touchdown pass kept things interesting, bringing the Scarlet Knights within a score of Ohio State with a little over 14 minutes to play. But after the Buckeyes responded with a six-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that featured the first 40-plus-yard play its defense has given up this season, Rutgers could not get back in the end zone.
