The Buckeyes face a Rutgers team that became bowl eligible recently with a win over Indiana.
Ohio State fans can breathe a sigh of relief. This may have reminded them of the injury to Jaxon Smith-Njigba last season. Njigba picked up a hamstring injury against Notre Dame and only played in three games last season.
Marvin Harrison Jr. is a force on his own, but it might be nice to give the defense someone else to worry about.
