Ohio State's win over Northwestern on Saturday was not exactly a thing of beauty, but some other things that happened that day may have dramatically improved the Buckeyes' chances of making the College Football Playoff this season anyway.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss how a series of upsets completely changed the Playoff picture.

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr give their instant reactions following Ohio State's 21-7 win over Northwestern. The weather was the story, but is it also an excuse? Tom tells everyone what it was like down on the field and why the passing game was non-existent for both teams. What did Ryan Day have to say after the game and what should be made of it? Tony and Tom discuss that as well. They also recap everything they saw and heard and then try to make sense of it moving forward. This was not a normal game, but there are still plenty of valid concerns to talk about.

The Ohio State Buckeyes survived a closer-than-expected game against Northwestern in blustery Evanston on Saturday.

After the Wildcats jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, the Buckeyes eventually overcame both Northwestern and a crazy day of weather to win, 21-7.

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss what they learned from the game.

- How big of a concern is the offensive line?

- Was the sluggish production a product of the wind and rain or legitimate problems?

- And much more

The Ohio State Buckeyes are set to face Northwestern on Saturday in Evanston, but the Wildcats won't be the only thing the Buckeyes have to overcome.

There is a Gale Warning in effect, with winds of up to 50 MPH possible on the banks of Lake Michigan.

How much will that impact the Buckeyes' ability to throw the ball, and potentially limit their explosive receivers?

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and much more.

The Ohio State Buckeyes enter November No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, but with some lingering questions on both sides of the ball.

Ross Fulton, one of the Xs and Os gurus at BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of those possible issues and separate the legitimate concerns from the rest.

- Why have the Buckeyes struggled to run the ball in recent weeks?

- Is the sideline-to-sideline passing game really necessary, and why wasn't it working?

- If Penn State could run on Ohio State, how big of a concern is that with Michigan looming?

- Does the OSU defense have a big play problem?

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr boldly predict what is going to happen in this week's game between Ohio State and Northwestern. Get ready for some predictions about Chip Trayanum, the wide receivers, the Buckeye secondary, the defensive line, and much, much more.

The Big Me Kickoff is back and the schedule keeps the Buckeyes on the road with a trip to Evanston (Ill.) and the Wildcats of Northwestern.

This has been anything but a good season for Pat Fitzgerald’s squad as a 1-11 season is a very real possibility for this team. Everything looked so much more promising to start the year in Ireland with a win over Nebraska but since then nothing has gone right.

The Buckeyes draw this reeling Northwestern team this week, a week after a hard-fought win at Penn State. You would expect this week to be much easier, but that doesn’t mean that the Buckeyes can just mail it in and expect to show up and not face any adversity. Mother Nature is trying to see to that.

We are joined by an old friend, Louie Vaccher of WildcatReport.com to talk about the Cats and what they hope to accomplish against the Buckeyes, no matter how difficult those goals may be. Don’t miss out as we talk Buckeyes vs. Wildcats here on the Big Me Kickoff.
