Rutgers heads into surprising halftime with lead over Ohio State

Greg Schiano was on the Ohio State coaching staff from 2016-18. Now, as head coach of Rutgers, he was looking to pull a Big Ten stunner on Saturday in Piscataway.

Schiano’s Scarlet Knights got a 40-yard gain on a fumblerooski and the defense came up with huge plays in the first 30 minutes. They took a stunning 9-7 lead into the break over the No. 1 team in the College Football Playoff rankings.

To give you an idea of how stunning this is, Ohio State is 9-0 against Rutgers lifetime. It has never scored less than 49 points in a game against the Scarlet Knights, outscoring them 477-98
