Game Thread Ohio State @ Rutgers, 09/30/17 @ 7:30 ET (BTN)

This one might actually be uglier than the UNLV game.

Rutgers scored 13 points against East Michigan and 17 against Nebraska's awful defense. QB is completing 57% with 3TD/6INT on the season. They rank 119th in yards per play on offense, so nothing really going in terms of explosiveness either. Likely a long night for the Rutgers offense. Which doesn't bode well for their defense.
That's what I anticipate to be honest... They just don't have enough as you said on offense to really do much. Rutgers may hang in there on defense for a quarter or so and keep it relatively close (like a 17-0 halftime score or something) but they're going to be on the field a lot.

Great opponent to play. Good enough defense to test our progress but they don't have enough on offense to really challenge us for the game.

If it starts to get out of hand score wise, I'm sure Urban won't make it look uglier because of his relationship with Ash.
Rutgers will play hard though.
We did go for 58 last year though... Just depends on how the defense does IMO. If we keep them moving backwards, force a ton of 3 and outs, and get some turnovers it could get into that 50-60 point range pretty quick.

Side note I have Sling TV... can anyone think of a solution for seeing the game while still being at home? Right now I can only think either go to my in laws house for the game or go to a buckeye bar. However, I'm pretty embarrassing to be around watching games so I'd prefer to stay home so is there any way for me to get the game without having cable?

Use your inlaw's password for BTN to go?

Rutgers has a top 25 Defense. Though they did just lose a starting CB thus the change in the point spread. It's also a night game that is away. I like the challenge it poses for our Offense. A great opportunity to build upon the last couple games. Still looking for improvement in the deep passing game.
That's debatable. I'd wager that there will be as many, if not more, tOSU fans in the stands.

I'm going to play it safe and go for the Biomedical lots on the left of this map: http://www.seats3d.com/ncaa/rutgers_university/football/#/parking/. Supposedly $20.

I saw a reddit thread from 2 years ago that said parking either across the river just on streets behind their student center and then catching a shuttle.....or parking just off the screen near the orange RV lot on that map and catch a shuttle. The shuttles are free.

Is that road really called "Hoes Lane West"??
