Ohio State cruised against Rutgers, 42-9, without standout WRs Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. But how concerning was their absence?

Max Klare, Bo Jackson and Caden Curry were among many of the Buckeyes who showed out Saturday during Ohio State's 42-9 win over the Scarlet Knights.

On the second drive, a sack from defensive end Eric O’Neill on third-and-6 was negated by a holding penalty from cornerback Jacobie Henderson. On the next play, running back Bo Jackson runs it into the end zone from 15 yards out for his first touchdown.

Will Ohio State star WRs Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate be healthy enough to play against Michigan? They both sat out vs. Rutgers.

Rutgers was on pace for another stop on its fourth drive, with safety Kaj Sanders breaking up a pass on 4th-and-2 to force a turnover on downs. But an inexcusable roughing the passer penalty on Weaver gave Ohio State a fresh set of downs in the red zone, leading to its second touchdown two plays later.
