Tag: Ohio State vs. Northwestern

Well, that was interesting, and, honestly, somewhat depressing. Not as depressing as a loss, but Ohio State coming out of Evanston with a 21-7 over a one-win Northwestern team isn’t going to impress anyone.

But, it could have been worse. The Buckeyes could have very well not been able to find anything that worked in the wind and rain and found a way to give the Wildcats their win of the century. Instead, OSU ran its record to 9-0 and kept all of its stratospheric goals in the clouds and attainable.

But, there are clearly some things to work on after another lackluster showing, and we are here to bring both the good and bad to light as we do after every game.

Here are five things we think we learned after Ohio State found a way to survive the elements, mindset, and effort against Northwestern.

Well, a game in which Ohio State was supposed to handle easily has turned into one it might just hope to get out of the wind and rain with a victory. That’s because things have sputtered and smoked on offense for one of the nation’s best offensive ball clubs as the teams headed into the locker room tied 7-7.

There’s a lot to take from this game, and not much of it is positive. Every week we pull three things out and provide some observations on what’s working and what’s not for the game Ohio State is playing at halftime.

Things in Evanston have not been pleasant for the Buckeyes so far, so brace yourself for some pretty scathing commentary on how this one has gone in the first 30 minutes.

Off we go …

Ohio State football is in the Chicagoland area Saturday to take on a Northwestern team that hasn’t been very good. The Wildcats aren’t expected to be much more than a speedbump for the Buckeyes and the oddsmakers agree.

As we always say though, both teams have to show up, get off the bus, and put the football down to figure out which team brings enough to take care or business.

Each week we flip back through all of our preview articles and collect them all in one place for easy selection and reading. It’s a playbook of everything that we discussed during the week.

Here is our Ohio State vs. Northwestern preview central for the upcoming Wee 10 as OSU tries to run its record to 9-0.

It’s Week 10 of the college football season and the Ohio State football team is still undefeated and looking to make good on some pretty lofty goals in 2022. The next step on the journey is a trip to Chicagoland to take on the Northwestern Wildcats.

This isn’t expected to be much of a game, but you never know how things will play out, especially away from home. The Buckeyes have to go in looking to play their best game and improve upon those areas that haven’t performed to expectations.

If it’s a Saturday in the fall, that likely means you are carving out some time to take in the Ohio State football game, and we have what you need to know, including how to find and watch the game.

Let’s dig in.
