Eddie George runs over a Northwestern defender en route to rushing for 206 yards on Oct. 1, 1994.
The Ohio State Buckeyes will be back in action Saturday when they travel to Evanston, Ill., to match up against improved Northwestern.
OSU's all-time record against the Wildcats is 58-14-1 (the tie being a scoreless battle in 1938). The Buckeyes have won 27 of the past 28 games in the series. The lone setback during this stretch came at Ryan Field in a night game -- a 33-27 overtime loss in 2004.
Northwestern, though, has had other moments, such as in 1994 when coach John Cooper's team traveled to Evanston as a solid favorite. It was the teams' Big Ten opener, and most Ohio State fans, who appeared to comprise at least half of the Dyche Stadium crowd of 34,753, totally underestimated their opponent.
