20 Incredible Things Ohio State Could Do Against Rutgers

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes head to Rutgers this weekend to play lowly Rutgers.

Games as lopsided as this are often known as “Stat-urday” for the remarkable numbers players and teams have a chance to accumulate.

The Bucks are favored by more than 50 points, and that line keeps creeping up. The reality of the situation is that Ohio State will score whatever it wants to.

If Ryan Day wants to hit 70, he will. If he’s aiming for 80, that’s within reach as well. And if the Buckeye starters all played the full 60 minutes with the pedal down, 100 points honestly might not be out of the question.

While there likely won’t be much drama in which team will win, there are some intriguing things to watch.

College football is a big and diverse enough sport in style and talent levels that in many weeks, you can see things happen that you’ve never seen before.

Odds are, none of the Buckeye players will be in the game long enough to rack up incredible single-game stats for themselves. So Eddie George’s 314 rushing yards is likely safe for another week.

But this week, you may get to see Ohio State do some remarkable things.

-1
The last time OSU held an opponent to negative rushing yards was against Miami in 2012. The Redhawks rushed for minus-1 yard on 20 carries that day.

0
The most recent game in which Ohio State did not punt at all was a 56-14 win over Nebraska in 2017.

7 x 4
The last time four different Buckeyes ran for a touchdown in a game was last Saturday against Maryland. J.K. Dobbins and Demario McCall had two each, while Marcus Crowley and Justin Fields both had one.

10
The last time OSU scored on 10 consecutive possessions was against Florida A&M in 2013.

50
The last time Ohio State scored 50+ points in a half was against Florida A&M in 2013. They put up 55 points in the first half of a 76-0 win.

59
That has been the exact margin of victory in OSU blowouts in conference games four times in the last five years.

2019: Ohio State 73, Maryland 14

2016: Ohio State 62, Maryland 3

2016: Ohio State 62, Nebraska 3

2014: Ohio State 59, Wisconsin 0

60
The last time OSU played a game with 60 or more points in the first half was against Iowa in 1995. Ohio State scored 56 before the break, while Iowa had 7.

The last time they did it against a Power 5 team was in 1996 against Pitt (72-0).

over 58 looks so much like free money that it makes me nervous.
over/under has jumped to 61, as expected.

bovada also has osu -11.5 for the first quarter. it's -31.5 for the first half, but that first quarter line looks especially appetizing. guessing between osu looking ahead and rutgers not being an opponent to get up for, osu projects to start flat. osu -52 seems to indicate that the offense -- not the defense -- will be flat.

gimme first-quarter -11.5 and over 61 all day long.
