Ohio State Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Rutgers in Week 2

2. Mike Weber records 200-plus all-purpose yards

Weber showed exactly why he is one of the best running backs in the country with his performance against the Beavers. He ran the ball 20 times for 186 yards and three scores and looked to have his old burst back from his 2016 freshman season.

Rutgers front seven will have a hard time slowing Weber down in the early part of the game and I expect him to receive between 15 to 20 carries in this game.

With that amount of touches, He should easily have the opportunity to pass the 200 total yard mark. In the 2016 season, Weber ran for 144 yards on 14 carries with a score against the Scarlet Knights. He could be a potential major threat in the passing game this season and should grab two or three passes in this one.

Expect another great game from Weber as he continues to put on a show as they prepare for a big showdown against TCU.

1. Ohio State reaches the 70-point mark, again

Although the defense had a few hiccups giving up a few long passes and looking I’m able to stop the beavers running game or fence put up arguably one of the best performances in recent history. Ryan Day and Dwayne Haskins cooked up a hell of a scheme as they dismantled the Oregon State secondary. Haskins threw five touchdowns and should be in line for another similar stat line this week.

I don’t think he will have any trouble finding open receivers and making the correct reads against the Rutgers defensive backs. When you think about Weber, Haskins and JK Dobbins there will be plenty of opportunities to put up big numbers again. There’s no reason to think that this offense won’t drop 70 on the Scarlet Knights Inn Week 2.

So those are the three broad predictions I have for the Buckeyes in their opening Big Ten matchup against Scarlet Knights. What are some bold predictions you expect coming out of this game? Comment below and let’s look forward to all the Week two action!
