Heisman hopeful quarterback Julian Sayin will be without his two biggest playmakers once again Saturday, as the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes host the 5-5 Rutgers S

Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis give their score predictions for Ohio State football's game against Rutgers

Unspecified injuries kept Ohio State’s two top receivers, Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, out of action and might have revealed a depth issue for the Buckeyes at wide receiver. Quarterback Julian Sayin completed 13 of 19 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns but without Smith and Tate the deep pass was absent from OSU’s offense.

Rutgers football has two games remaining in the regular season, and first up is a battle against No. 1 Ohio State in Columbus.

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

After Julian Sayin and the Ohio State Buckeyes handed unranked Rutgers a 42-9 loss in Columbus on Saturday, they now sit one win away from completing an undefeated regular season.

Kickoff from Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, is at noon ET. Ohio State leads the all-time series 10-0. The Buckeyes are 32.5-point favorites in the latest Rutgers vs. Ohio State odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 55.

The Buckeyes will head to Michigan next week to end the regular season but will host Rutgers before that. This will be a smaller list of recruits, considering the massive number of visitors the Buckeyes hosted last week against UCLA and on Nov. 1 vs. Penn State.
