Ohio State didn’t come out of the gates convincing against the Northwestern Wildcats at Wrigley Field, but the Buckeyes eventually settled in and took care of business in the final road game of the regular season. The Buckeyes ultimately won comfortably but it took a couple of quarters and a huge Northwestern mistake to get things moving in the right direction.

We break down the key plays and moments in the game, check our picks to click, and look back at our score predictions to see how we well we foretold the matchup in the Windy City.

After our Northwestern rewind, we looked at the other matchups around the Big Ten this weekend, including a close one at Camp Randall that had the Oregon Ducks on upset alert for much of the afternoon. We also tell you which teams have arrived at bowl eligibility and discuss what USC needs to do to be more competitive in the conference.

Finally, we looked ahead to a huge game against Indiana, which is not something we expected when the season started. The Hoosiers have been impressive, regardless of which teams were on their schedule. The Buckeyes are sure to have their hands full on Saturday in the Shoe. We preview the game, select the players we think will click for Ohio State, and make our score predictions.
