Rutgers football today will play the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes in the second-to-last game of the regular season.
The Scarlet Knights have never beaten Ohio State in 10 previous tries, and they're going to need to play near perfectly to have a chance of ending that streak today.

Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin is completing 80.1 percent of his passes this season.
So needless to say this will be a major challenge for Rutgers.

Rutgers and Ohio State have played 10 times previously. The Scarlet Knights have never beaten the Buckeyes. And that won't change this year, either. Ohio State is just too good, too talented and too dominant for Rutgers to be able to pull off what would be a massive upset, especially on the road. This is going to be a major challenge for the Scarlet Knights' defense, which might have to limit two of the top wide receivers in the country in Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate if both are indeed available. Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin is completing 80.1 percent of his passes (he's thrown for 25 touchdowns) and has the potential to pick apart a vulnerable defense. But an even bigger challenge for Rutgers will come offensively. The Buckeyes boast the nation's best defense, giving up just 211.6 yards per game. Teams are averaging just 7.2 points against Ohio State. This is just a bad matchup for Rutgers the way things have gone this season. Score prediction: Ohio State 49, Rutgers 13
