Ohio State fell out of the College Football Playoff discussion last week as Oregon came to The Horseshoe and delivered a 41-28 thumping, leading by as much as 24 in the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes took a 14-0 lead on two Bo Jackson touchdown runs in the first quarter before the Ducks came back with 38 unanswered points. Luke Fahey, playing in place of injured Julian Sayin, finished 36-of-50 for 360 yards and two touchdowns with an interception while the running game managed only 53 yards. Jeremiah Smith put up seven receptions for 133 yards and a score in the loss.
Northwestern never got its offense going in a 24-10 loss to visiting Iowa last week. The Wildcats got their only touchdown with 1:51 left in the game on a two-yard toss from Nicco Marchiol to Joseph Himon II. Marchiol started for injured Aiden Chiles and went 24-of-32 for 181 yards while running 23 times for 52 yards.
The Buckeyes enter with 11 straight victories over the Wildcats, taking a 31-7 win at Chicago’s Wrigley Field last November, and lead the all-time series 66-14-1.
Fahey comes in with 823 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions, starting two games for Ohio State while appearing in six overall. Smith continues his remarkable season with 69 receptions for 1,200 yards and 14 scores, with Bo Jackson leading the ground game with 685 yards and six TDs. Ja’Kobi Jackson also comes in with six rushing touchdowns. Griffin Wilde leads the Northwestern receivers with 49 catches for 813 yards and five scores and Caleb Komolafe enters with 643 rushing yards and five TDs.
