Ohio State football is currently in a Big Ten battle with the Northwestern Wildcats and heading into halftime with a healthy 21-7 lead. After an alarming and scoreless first quarter, the Buckeyes appear to have found their groove, reaching the endzone three times in the second quarter.
A few players have really stood out including the quarterback, Will Howard, who will head into half completing nine of his 14 passing attempts for 138 yards and a touchdown. TreVeyon Henderson is currently the leading rusher with seven carries for 35 yards, but Quinshon Judkins is the runner with two touchdowns.
As expected, Carnell Tate has made the most of his homecoming as the current leading receiver for OSU with three receptions for 44 yards and a highlight-worthy touchdown. Gee Scott Jr. has also played a role in the passing game with a lone reception for a much-needed 34 yards.
On the Wildcats’ side, their quarterback, Jack Lausch, has played much better than most expected, completing 9-of-14 attempts for 105 yards and added another 25 yards on the ground including a rushing touchdown. The following are the three most noticeable observations from the first half.
