My only questions are how bad will the buckeyes throttle the Wildcats and will starters play the whole game. Final 56-17.

I sure hope they feel like they have as much to prove as the 2014 team did when they played Wisconsin in the Big Ten Title game.

^^^ Agree. Take no prisoners and leave no doubt or room for A+M lovers I only hope to see them play at a high level, for four, full, quarters. The Indiana game, still lingers in everyone's brain. |

With Chris Olave and Jaxon Smith Njigba reportedly out for this game, who gets the most touches?
I'm guessing Justin's targets will be many, with Julian Fleming and Gee Scott Jr. as prime targets, others will get their time, Jaylen Harris, Ellijah Gardiner and expect the unveiling of Jameson Williams with some deep shots. Who, among this group of talented receivers, is going to have that break-out game?
Much like the OL backups stepping up big-time vs. MSU, now it's the receivers turn to shine.
With a 5 game Season, not much opportunity to get on-field development for the youngsters, but today they are gonna be given their opportunities much earlier than expected and on the biggest stage.

We’ve got some really good tight ends, maybe we’ll see some more plays to them. Ruckert is basically a 6’5 WR.
Our WR room is so deep I’m not concerned for this game. We do need Olave for the playoffs though.

We do need Olave for the playoffs though. No question Why Olave has gotten the most touches to date. Like a vacuum, he catches virtually everything thrown his way and Justin is locked in on Olave's routes. Ruckert has really good hands as well and with Haussman, Farrell and Royer all big, imposing targets, expect the TE's to play a larger roll than usual. |

Northwestern has been well aware and have already been working on seeing more of Ohio State's TEs.
Olave didn't care, his draft stock is secure, but Smith-Njigba?? This was his opportunity for a break out game. Not too smart....and being smart is a huge part of the equation for players Day is recruiting. Being smart IS what Northwestern players must be....they have no virus cases.

3 timeouts left. Inside 15 and never run ball. Fields is struggling, not confident. Terrible at calls and game.management at half.

Ohio State has the bigger faster athletes, why in the heck does the defense have to he flipping and flopping around before the snap?? Line up and play like men.

Is it really this difficult to just hand the ball off and live with the results? Fields does not have it today. He has been doing his best J. T. impersonation all day long, even when a reciever is open he is seeing it too late.
