Man, just looked at NW's QB ratings. They are dreadful.

statistically one of the very worst offenses in CFB this year in pretty much any category you care to look

and they haven't played a defense like OSU's yet while earning that dubious distinction

We all keep thinking about Iowa and Purdue but you could see things that those two teams could do offensively (TE's and slot receiver extraordinaire) . NU is just totally inept. There is nothing you can point to and say they do this one thing well enough to maybe have a punchers chance.

It would take a tsunami of OSU turnovers and penalties.

Bucks by 27 in 2nd quarter right?

Nope. Final.

Bucks go with conserative run-dominant game plan, only put up 38.

Fitzgerald pulls out a few gimmicky plays from his playbook and they hit one or two. Bucks bench their starters in the 4th and give up one late. I see this one going similiar to the MSU game. They dominate the ground game and bleed the clock. NW hangs for a quarter then the talent takes over. Buckeyes may not come out as sharp either, maybe peeking ahead to the Wisconsin game. They aren't going to score 50 every game even though they have the talent to do so.

Northwestern’s last home game was Sep 21 against Sparty.

I’m sure the grass has been watered daily and not cut for a month in preparation for the Buckeyes.
