Who is going to slow down the No. 3 Buckeyes? Not a typically stingy Northwestern defense, apparently. OSU rolled to 31 first-half points and out-gained the Wildcats 480-199 overall. Justin Fields threw for 194 yards and four scores, JK Dobbins rushed for 121 and a score and Ryan Day’s team averaged 7.5 per carry. Oh, and another dominant defensive outing came along with it. Saturday’s home tilt against Wisconsin lost some luster on Saturday, but that was no fault of OSU’s.
The No. 6 Nittany Lions keep taking care of business. James Franklin’s team withstood a late scoring opportunity from the Wolverines to come out victorious in a game that felt like an East Division eliminator.
