Three matchups to watch against Ohio State
Rinse and repeat. Somehow, a nightmarish season for the ‘Cats hit a new nadir after Saturday’s loss to Iowa. Unfortunately for Northwestern (1-7, 1-4 B1G), the schedule doesn’t lighten up as No. 2 Ohio State (8-0, 5-0 B1G) comes to Ryan Field. After knocking off Penn State 44-31 last week, Ohio State’s playoff chances remain strong. If the Wildcats want any chance of upsetting this juggernaut Buckeye squad, they’ll have to play 60 minutes of flawless football. These are some of the key matchups to keep an eye on this upcoming Saturday.
