Why Northwestern will/won’t beat Ohio State

Justin Fields is a significantly better quarterback than whoever takes the field for Northwestern

This one is no secret. The Georgia transfer leading the Buckeyes has already etched his name into the Heisman race just under halfway into the season. He can punish teams with his legs and his arm, while not even close to the same can be said of Northwestern’s quarterbacks at this point in the season. Few offensive players in the Big Ten can take over a game and beat a high-caliber defense in the conference on their own. Fields, though, is one of those players.
