Week 10 in college football featured the end of a defensive era at USC that was truly offensive to the sensibilities, and a complete performance for a maligned QB coming into his own. Digging into Week 10’s notable results, we here at Sports Illustrated are determined to find the answer to the question: Which team does the final score say more about?
Ohio State 35, Rutgers 16 says more about: Ohio State
We know just about what Ohio State is at this point. An explosive pass game is built around Marvin Harrison Jr., the best receiver in college football, and maybe Emeka Egbuka when he’s healthy. They can generate explosives with TreVeyon Henderson in the run game as well. But Kyle McCord clearly will not be the best QB on the field when Ohio State plays Michigan over Thanksgiving weekend, and the Buckeyes defense is certifiably good. The question is whether that’s enough to get past the Wolverines.
