When it rains, it pours and when the wind blows in Chicago it’s really hard to throw a football. The Ohio State football team found out that life in the Big Ten can come at you fast. While the opponent on the opposite side of the football field may not pose much of a threat, midwest weather patterns can certainly level the playing field.
The Buckeyes were able to escape Evanston with a win, but it wasn’t pretty, to say the least. The weather may have exposed a glaring weakness that otherwise may have continued being masked by an elite passing game. This team needs to be able to run the ball and if OSU can’t figure that out soon, it could be a long day when Ohio State runs into teams that can match its talent.
