He was clearly out of bounds when Aron Cruickshank, a wide receiver playing special teams, delivers the shot of shots.

Rutgers’ Greg Schiano and Ohio State head coach Ryan Day started jawing at each other. The pair had worked together as Buckeye assistants for a couple of seasons under Urban Meyer.
