The 2024 NCAA football season is reaching its climax, with each game carrying significant weight for teams competing for conference championships and postseason berths. These types of late-season Big Ten matchups can often have far-reaching consequences, impacting only the teams involved and the entire conference landscape.
Ohio State, under the leadership of head coach Ryan Day, has re-established itself as a national power. The Buckeyes’ high-powered offense, ranked 11th in the nation at 38.6 points per game, was virtually unstoppable. Their defense was equally impressive, ranking second in the nation in allowing just 10.7 points per game. With their eyes on both a Big Ten title and a top spot in the College Football Playoff, Ohio State can’t afford a misstep against Northwestern.
Northwestern, led by head coach David Braun, has regressed after finishing 8-5 last season. The Wildcats haven’t played many competitive games lately, with just a 26-20 win last Saturday and the final score coming within a touchdown. The atmosphere at Ryan Field should be electric as Northwestern tries to pull off a monumental upset.
