A look at how to watch Saturday’s game between Ohio State and Northwestern online.
On Saturday afternoon, Ohio State and Northwestern will go to battle in a Big Ten matchup. Each team sits at 3-1 in the conference heading into this contest.
The Buckeyes are coming off their first loss of the season after Penn State beat them, 24-21 at Happy Valley. This pushed them down the AP Poll to No. 6 in the process, but they remain in decent position for the College Football Playoff.
Penn State swarmed OSU, sacking quarterback JT Barrett six times. They also forced two fumbles in this impressive defensive performance. So, Ohio State will have to regroup quickly by facing a Northwestern team that may not be easy. They’ll need more production out of running back Mike Weber, who only had 21 rushes for 71 yards last Saturday. This carry total had been his season high.
If the Buckeyes can win this game, they have a chance of regaining position in the polls. They’ll need some help from Utah, who is playing Washington in one of the weekend’s top games.
Northwestern comes into this game at 4-3 and on a bit of a hot streak. They’ve rattled off four wins in their last five games, including beating Iowa, Michigan State, and Indiana in consecutive weeks. The past two victories have been by double digits as well.
For the Wildcats to pull off the upset, they’ll need quarterback Clayton Thorson to have a big game. He has nine touchdown passes over the past three weeks, so he’s coming in with some momentum for this crucial contest.
