SCOUTING REPORT

Buckeyes: Ohio State started slowly but finished strong in a 38-10 win over Penn State last Saturday. Ezekiel Elliott (153 yards rushing) ran for more than 100 yards for the twelfth game in a row and OSU had 429 yards total offense against a team allowing an average of 275 yards a game. J.T. Barrett outplayed starting quarterback Cardale Jones, putting the “Who should be the starting quarterback?” question into play again.

Scarlet Knights: Rutgers came from 25 points down late in the third quarter to beat Indiana 55-52 last Saturday on a field goal by Kyle Federico as time ran out. Quarterback Chris Laviano (1,388 yards, 12 touchdowns), running back Robert Martin (437 yards) and receiver Leonte Caroo lead the offense.
