Analyzing past games, it's clear that Rutgers has had a mixed season. In their last outing against Indiana Hoosiers, they fell short with a score of 21-37. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their punting game was strong with an average of 42 yards per punt and one inside the 20-yard line. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up three interceptions.


The previous game against Michigan State Spartans showcased Rutgers' potential as they secured a victory with a score of 38-27. Their defense made significant contributions by forcing five fumbles and recovering four while also recording two interceptions. On offense, they demonstrated efficiency in the red zone with a success rate of 100 percent over four attempts.


Rutgers' ability to capitalize on turnovers could be crucial against Ohio State. The defensive unit will need to replicate its aggressive performance from two games ago to disrupt Buckeyes' rhythm.


Ohio Stadium is known for its raucous atmosphere which can undoubtedly influence any visiting team's composure. The Scarlet Knights must maintain focus amidst this environment if they hope to compete effectively.


Fans can catch all the action live on BTN network and witness whether Rutgers can harness their defensive strengths while minimizing errors in what promises to be an exciting football matchup.


Remember to tune in on November 8th at 00:30 AM UTC (November 7th at 7:30 PM local time) from Columbus, OH as we cheer on our Scarlet Knights!
