Schiano has his work cut out for him as he tries to rebuild the program he left for the NFL last decade. He is off to a good start after Rutgers beat Michigan State in the first week, 38-27. Rutgers lost to No. 17 Indiana last week 37-21.
Ohio State, meanwhile, is coming off a giant win over then-ranked No.18 Penn State in Happy Valley last week. The Buckeyes trotted out to an early lead in that game and cruised to a 38-25 victory to strengthen their grip on the Big Ten and a top-5 ranking.
