Recap

Rutgers survived a scare from Ohio, hanging on for a 34-31 victory after the Bobcats erased a 17-point deficit to tie the game in the third quarter. Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis connected with DT Sheffield for a 54-yard touchdown strike and found KJ Duff for another score, while Cam Miller's blocked punt return touchdown proved crucial for the Scarlet Knights. Ohio's Parker Navarro kept the Bobcats in it with three touchdown passes and a rushing score, but Jai Patel's 26-yard field goal in the fourth quarter ultimately sealed the win for Rutgers.
