After putting on a clinic against UNLV, Ohio State is heading into their main slate of conference games on Saturday. The Buckeyes will face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and their super familiar head coach Chris Ash. Despite winning 54-21 against the Rebels, the Buckeyes dropped one spot in the AP Poll, losing their Top-10 ranking for the first time in years.
Now, as they prepare to hit the road for their second away game of the season, they’ll be without Malik Barrow after the DT tore his ACL last weekend. During his presser earlier this week, head coach Urban Meyer noted that LB Chris Worley is probable heading into this matchup, and that running back Mike Weber has finally been cleared for action. Interestingly, Meyer said Michael Hill’s suspension from the team is a week-to-week decision, and even though they lost Barrow, Hill won’t be suiting up against Rutgers.
