Ohio State is coming into the game here with a strong offense and a defense that has been very difficult to stop on the year. The Buckeyes are a team that has really been able to crush their opponents and for the most part the starters for Ohio State have not had to see the 4th quarter except from the bench. That includes in the last game when the Buckeyes were able to beat Michigan State by a total of 24 points.
Throwing the ball for the Buckeyes has really been handled by Justin Fields. Fields on the year has thrown for 1298 yards and 18 touchdowns, but has only thrown 1 pick.

Northwestern is definitely going to have a problem in this game. The Wildcats have not really been able to play good on the year on either side of the ball. The Wildcats have ended up getting some losses piled up on them in the low scoring games, but even then when the team faced a high powered offense like Wisconsin the team gave up a lot of points and that definitely will continue to be an issue in this game here.
Hunter Johnson is the leading quarterback for the Wildcats. He has thrown for 367 yards and a touchdown, but has thrown 4 picks as well. Drake Anderson is the leading rusher for the Wildcats with 74 carries for 366 yards and 3 touchdowns on the day.
