Five Things: Ohio State overcomes blustery conditions, offensive struggles to outlast Northwestern in Evanston.
The weather nor Ohio State's performance in it were worthy of winning a beauty contest but the Buckeyes did what mattered most - they left Evanston with a 21-7 victory - pushing their unblemished record to 9-0 with three regular season games left to play.
Ryan Day would likely prefer to forget about this one on the trip home but before the Buckeyes get busy prepping for next Saturday's matchup with Indiana, here are Five Things from a soggy win over Northwestern.Yeah the weather sucked but yesterday wasn't the first time Ohio State's offense struggled to win one-on-one matchups or run the ball when the defense knew it was coming, especially early in the game.
Look, I think every offense in the country would've struggled in Evanston yesterday. But I also think Day's is prone to sputtering in suboptimal conditions because it simply can't line up and knock good teams off the ball, and except in dire circumstances, doesn't want to run the quarterback even as defenses do virtually nothing to account for it.
Honestly, I wonder what that might say about Ohio State's strength and conditioning and tackling versus Hull's talents but Hull impressed me all day long.
