To beat the Buckeyes, you must throw the ball downfield and try taking advantage of their secondary, which has been a question mark all season. The problem is, Northwestern's offense isn't built to do that. Northwestern relies on their running game, extending the chains and controlling the clock. Ohio State is dominant against the run. They will make Ramsey beat him with his arm. Ohio State will pound the Wildcats’ defensive front with the combination of Teague and Sermon. Then they will release Fields and their wideouts on the Northwestern secondary. Northwestern will struggle to score in this one and their only hope is that Ohio States best players have COVID.
