If Rutgers wanted any chance to pull the unimaginable on Saturday, it was going to have to play a perfect football game against Ohio State. Instead, the Scarlet Knights gave the Buckeyes one of their easier touchdowns of the year.
Midway through the second quarter, J.T. Barrett was able to roll out of the pocket and fired a deep pass to Johnnie Dixon, where the receiver was left all alone.
I mean, all alone.
