The Buckeyes hope to bounce back against a hot Northwestern squad.
It has been a tough week for the Ohio State Buckeyes as they work to come back from a close loss on the road to Penn State. But the Buckeyes are finally heading home to Columbus to take on perhaps one of the most confusing teams in the conference--Northwestern--whose wins over Iowa and Michigan State are balanced with a head-scratching, 9-7 loss to FCS foe Illinois State.
But Urban Meyer is nothing if not resilient. The Buckeyes have had just one back-to-back loss under Meyer’s tenure (to Clemson in the Orange Bowl in 2014, following Ohio State’s loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship), and otherwise have most-effectively throttled their next opponent, including a 66-0 wallop of Kent State following the Buckeyes’ loss to Virginia Tech in 2014, and a 42-13 beatdown of Michigan in 2015 after losing to Michigan State.
Ohio State has won 29 of the last 30 matchups against Northwestern. The Buckeyes are favored by 27 at home, but the Wildcats remember well when their 2004 squad toppled 7th-ranked Ohio State in Evanston.
