In poor conditions on the road in Chicago on Saturday, No. 2 Ohio State grinded its way to a 21–7 road victory over Northwestern.
The Wildcats entered the game with a 1–8 record on the season, and the Buckeyes were greater than five touchdown road favorites. Despite this, Ohio State struggled offensively all afternoon due to a strong performance by Northwestern’s defense and poor weather conditions with rain and significant wind gusts.
When asked about the victory after the game, an exasperated Ryan Day was happy to get his team out of Chicago with a victory.
