What channel is the game on? Here's how to watch, stream Ohio State vs. Rutgers
The Ohio State football team will play its second-straight game on the Big Ten Network this weekend and it looks like BTN might be airing one of the best conference games so far in the 2021 season.
The No. 11 Buckeyes travel to New Jersey to face the 3-1 Scarlet Knights at 3:30 p.m. It's the second Big Ten game of the season for Ohio State, who opened the year on the road with a 45-31 win over Minnesota in Week 1.
The Buckeyes had an up-and-down first month of the season. A Week 2 loss to Oregon put the defense under a microscope and even in the Buckeyes' romp over Akron last week there was drama.
Meanwhile, Rutgers nearly scored one of the biggest upsets of the season when it lost 20-13 to Michigan in Ann Arbor. The Scarlet Knights own a win at Syracuse sandwiched between victories over Temple and Delaware.
