By the Numbers: A Final Look at Rutgers

No team has dominated Rutgers more than Ohio State in Big Ten play through the years and as we get ready to turn the page on this game and look ahead to Maryland, we wanted to do one final look at the eight game series between these two teams as Ohio State continues to roll.

579: That is the amount of offensive yards the Buckeyes have averaged in these games with 310.9 coming by way of the pass and 268.1 coming on the ground. Ohio State has thrown for more than 300 yards in the five most recent games with Saturday seeing a tally of 333 yards via the pass by three different signal callers. Ohio State saw its lowest rushing number of the series on Saturday with just 197 yards, the only time that Ohio State has not made it to at least 200 yards of rushing. Ohio State calling off the dogs after the first series of the third quarter and a very early departure of TreVeyon Henderson both can be major factors in that number as Ryan Day had the Buckeyes take the foot off the gas and get very vanilla for almost the entirety of the second half.

256: While the Buckeyes have thrived, Rutgers has struggled to move the ball with an average of just 256 yards of offense averaged over the course of the previous eight games. The numbers are about as bad as you can expect with just 148.5 yards via the pass and 107.4 yards on the ground. In Saturday’s game, Rutgers did surpass both of those averages, barely on the ground with 111 yards but significantly via the pass with 235. Granted, much of that difference was realized on the 75-yard connection between Noah Vedral and Aron Cruickshank, but you don’t get to pick and choose which stats and scores you want to talk about, they all matter.

1: Can’t get much lower than this, one single pass has been intercepted by Rutgers over the course of eight games with the Buckeyes. You have to go back to 2016 when Anthony Cioffi picked off J.T. Barrett in a 58-0 Ohio State rout. Over the course of the same eight games, the Buckeyes have intercepted 11 passes by Rutgers including a series-high three in the 2021 game. Ohio State has picked off at least one pass in all but two of the games however and had two a game over a three-game stretch from 2017-2019.
