Ohio State has found its groove on the road against Rutgers.
Returning to conference play in Week 5, it did not take long for the Buckeyes to get things rolling against the Scarlet Knights. It started early with a 44-yard touchdown by TreVeyon Henderson as Ohio State rolled to 45 first-half points against Rutgers.
The exclamation point of that performance came on an impressive 56-yard score by Chris Olave. He broke a couple of tackles and knifed through the Rutgers defense for the touchdown:
Wow. All of this. 👀

Ohio State has clicked with multiple plays, scoring from 44, 32, 19, and 56 yards out against the Scarlet Knights. C.J. Stroud has completed 14 of 18 passes for 273 yards and 4 TDs without a turnover.
With the score, Olave is officially up to No. 4 on Ohio State’s all-time list with his 26th career touchdown grab:
And with that TD reception covering 56 yards for Chris Olave, he has moved into sole possession of fourth place at Ohio State with 26 career TD receptions. Up next: 27 by Cris Carter … then 30 by Devin Smith … then 34 by David Boston.
