Rutgers is trying to pull off a massive upset against Ohio State on Saturday, and the Scarlet Knights have pulled out all the stops in the first half. That includes a trick play with a unique design on fourth down.

Facing a 4th-and-1, Rutgers lined up to go for it with Gavin Wimsatt under center. As Wimsatt received the snap, Ohio State dove to block up the middle of the formation.

The only problem is Wimsatt did not run. Instead, he tucked the ball between his legs and handed the ball off to Kyle Monangai. The star running back picked up 45 yards and nearly scored on the huge play.

Instead, Rutgers settled for a field goal, but that trick play jumpstarted the Scarlet Knights at home. We’ll see how both teams respond, but Ohio State is struggling to gain momentum after a huge play by Rutgers.
