Peyton Ramsey has been efficient, just not overly effective…
Northwestern’s offense…

I know, the tweet above is missing the Maryland game, it seems to be an outlier for the 2020 Northwestern Wildcats. They have relied on defense to carry them much of the season. The Wildcat rushing attack is ranked No. 60 in the country with an average of 170.6 yards per game. The passing game is even more disappointing, ranking 106th with 180.9 yards per game. Keep the offense behind the chains and good things will happen.
Peyton Ramsey has been pretty good at protecting the ball, but he has some mechanical and footwork issues that the coaching staff has been able to cover up this season. If the Buckeyes can force him to sling it around a little more than normal, he will struggle and make mistakes.
