\tQ1, 5:47: Buckeyes stuff Rutgers on 4th-and-1<\/p>\n

\n\tRutgers attempted to go for it on 4th-and-1 from its own 29-yard line on its second possession of the game. Antwan Raymond found nowhere to go, with\u00a0Curry hitting the Rutgers running back behind the line of scrimmage and Jaylen McClain coming in to finish up the tackle for no gain, giving the ball to the Buckeyes\u2019 offense in great field position to set up their first touchdown of the day.\n<\/p>\n

\tQ1, 4:01: Jackson runs for 15-yard touchdown<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter fumbling at the 1-yard line on Ohio State\u2019s opening drive, Jackson made up for it on the Buckeyes\u2019 second possession by running for a 15-yard touchdown, following pull blocks from Luke Montgomery and Bennett Christian through a hole before making a free defender miss on his way to the end zone for a score.\n<\/p>\n

\tQ2, 2:27: Inniss touchdown caps 98-yard drive<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the aid of excellent pass protection from Peoples, Julian Sayin connected with Brandon Inniss in the back right corner of the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown, capping off an 11-play, 98-yard drive to give Ohio State a 14-3 lead.\n<\/p>\n

\tQ3, 7:40: Curry nearly scoops and scores on strip sack<\/p>\n

\n\tCurry came very close to scoring a defensive touchdown when he beat Rutgers left tackle Tyler Needham around the edge and knocked the ball out of Athan Kaliakmanis\u2019 hands, then scooped the ball up himself and nearly landed in the end zone on his fumble recovery.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\tBANG! CURRY!<\/p>\n

\t\u2014 FOX College Football (@CFBONFOX) November 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tCurry was ruled down at the 1-yard line, and Ohio State nearly squandered an easy touchdown opportunity when Ethan Onianwa \u2013 in the game in relief of\u00a0Montgomery at left guard for just one play \u2013\u00a0was called for holding on 2nd-and-goal. But an 11-yard touchdown pass from Sayin to Klare on 3rd-and-goal extended the Buckeyes\u2019 lead to 21-3.\n<\/p>\n

\tQ3, 2:30: Jackson scores again<\/p>\n

\n\tJackson scored two touchdowns in a game for the second time in his career as he took a toss for a 10-yard score late in the third quarter to make it a 28-3 game.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter scoring two touchdowns one week earlier vs. UCLA, James Peoples drove the final dagger through the Scarlet Knights with a 49-yard touchdown run that extended Ohio State\u2019s lead to 42-9.\n<\/p>\n
