Things got heated in The Shoe between Ohio State’s Ryan Day and Rutgers’ Greg Schiano.
The two coaches had to be separated in the field of play following a late hit by the Scarlet Knights on an OSU fake punt attempt while up 39.

“Gotta be more to this Ohio State/Rutgers dustup than a fake Buckeyes’ punt up 39 in the fourth quarter, right?” asked WDRB.com’s Rick Bozich.
Most likely, the Ohio State punter saw a look he liked and executed the fake on his own. We’re doubting that the Buckeyes called for a fake up 39.
The postgame handshake between the two coaches, who worked together on Urban Meyer’s staff at Ohio State in 2017-18, was tame.
We’ll see if there are any fireworks at the podium now.
