Okay, so this one isn’t so bad and it’s only for one week. Ohio State needs to play the best possible opponent it can, considering the Buckeyes only have one quality win on their resume and the Wildcats are the last hope.

Northwestern faces rival Illinois today which should be an easy win for the ‘Cats. But it seems like we’ve seen this story before, just a couple of weeks ago when Pat Fitzgerald’s team laid an egg against a really bad Michigan State squad.

Ohio State fans want Northwestern to win and win big over the Illini today. But as soon as that game is over, the Wildcats become public enemy No. 1.

Here we go. Say it loud for those in the back row – Go Wildcats!
