It’s Week 10 of the college football season and the Ohio State football team is still undefeated and looking to make good on some pretty lofty goals in 2022. The next step on the journey is a trip to Chicagoland to take on the Northwestern Wildcats.
This isn’t expected to be much of a game, but you never know how things will play out, especially away from home. The Buckeyes have to go in looking to play their best game and improve upon those areas that haven’t performed to expectations.
If it’s a Saturday in the fall, that likely means you are carving out some time to take in the Ohio State football game, and we have what you need to know, including how to find and watch the game.
Let’s dig in.

Ohio State vs. Northwestern injury report
Ohio State
The Buckeyes do not provide an injury report early in the week like some programs. Instead, they use an availability report they release a couple of hours prior to game time. We’ll have that for you when it comes out, but here’s what we know at this point.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba – The OSU coaching staff has been pretty mysterious about where he stands, but Smith-Njigba’s father told the Columbus Dispatch that he likely will not return until the Michigan game.
Miyan Williams – Left the game early against Penn State with an apparent hand injury and has been dealing with a knee issue. He was in pads during the week, so he could be back in the lineup.
Jordan Hancock – The cornerback suffered a preseason injury and he confirmed this week that it is his hamstring. He has been increasing his load the last two weeks and should be ready to help out opposite starter Denzel Burke.
Cam Brown – Brown has been out and nobody really knows why. However, don’t expect him to be suddenly plugged into the plan on Saturday.
Tommy Eichenberg – Eichenberg has been one of the most improved players for Ohio State this year. He had his hand wrapped up or bandaged during practice this week. I wouldn’t expect him to miss any time though.
Northwestern
The Wildcats don’t provide much news on injuries, so we’ll have to see who is out there when the teams take the field.
Players to Watch
Ohio State
TreVeyon Henderson, Running Back – Ohio State should get the running game cranked up against a bad Northwestern defense. With Miyan Williams nursing an injury, Henderson should get the bulk of the touches and have ample opportunity to rack up plenty of yards. Hopefully, this is a game where he can start to work towards a good home stretch to the regular season
2022 Stats
96 carries, 552 yards, 6 TDs
Northwestern
Evan Hull, Running Back – The Wildcats aren’t very dangerous on offense, but the guy that is the feature of most game plans is Hull. He leads the team in rushing and receiving touchdowns. He’ll be featured big time and Ohio State would be wise to know where he is on the field at all times.
2022 Stats
136 carries for 579 yards, 3 TDs
45 receptions for 461 yards, 2 TDs
