NW has the 7th ranked offense in the nation, while we have the 7th ranked defense in the nation...
We match up well against NW.scUM and even Iowa ruled the trenches against them, so we definantly have the upper hand there. Mark it down, we will not lose this game. Its the seniors last game in the shoe, and they are still embaressed over last years lost, we will not lose this game.

as much as i'd love to think that osu will beat the spread, and as much as i think that osu can surely beat the spread, i would not be betting this one. i can't help but think that ohio state and penn state are two evenly matched teams, which could very well mean that a close game will be had this weekend. penn state won by 5 at evanston, so i'm doubling that for a 10-point victory for ohio state. actually, i'll add 4 more points for a 41-27 victory. i hope that i'm proven wrong. i'd like to see ohio state cover the spread so that a signal can be sent to the pollsters. if the buckeyes can stake two exclamation points to the end of the season, the path to a bcs bowl game will be that much clearer.

From CFB NEWS: WHO'S NOT (HOT) All of Illinois pass rush The Land of Lincoln isn’t getting to the quarterback. Illinois is tied with Florida Atlantic for the nation’s worst pass rush with only six sacks in nine games. Northwestern is 116th in the nation with only eight sacks in nine games. Northern Illinois is 102nd with 14 sacks in nine games.

Ohio State is going to beat NW up and down the field for 60 minutes.
They will not forget last year, trust me. This will be similar to the Iowa game. I'm thinking the score will be: Ohio State 48 NW 10

BuckeyeTillIDie: "Ohio State is going to beat NW up and down the field for 60 minutes."
You (and others) are making some very valid points, and I agree with your takes. But there's one factor that nobody has mentioned as the reason why this will be a behind-the-woodshed ass whoopin': REVENGE. Look at OSU's recent history against this team whenever it has felt even the smallest of slights from the Wildcats: 1997: Cooper throws the ball & runs up the score (a rarity for him) in the 4th Quarter as the Buckeyes throttle the Wildcats 49-6 in the Horseshoe. It was the Bucks' 1st game against NU after skipping two seasons in the B10 rotation. After the game, it was speculated that the Buckeyes were still irked from the 1995 NU Rose Bowl team celebrating on National TV as the Bucks' perfect season was ruined by a loss to scUM. They wanted to lay the wood hard on NU, and payback was a bitch that day. 2001: An unranked Buckeyes team rolls No 14 NU 38-20 at the Horseshoe. After the game, it was speculated that the Bucks were really motivated by the disparative rankings of the two teams. 2005: ??? What do you think's gonna happen after the Buckeyes suffered their first loss to NU since the Nixon Administration in the previous season? "Revenge is a dish that is best served cold" -Khan

Northwestern's defense is bad. We all know this. But I can't get last year's game off my mind this week.
I'm certain they have watched the Minnesota game and saw how some misdirection stuff can get yards on our defense. Northwestern has, in my mind, the smartest QB in the conference. He has good skills as a QB, but that is enhanced by his ability to process information quickly and make the right decisions just as fast. Northwestern will score a few times this Saturday. I'm certain of it. Our defense should be rested after not having much of a challenge this past week. I'm sure their egos are still bruised from the trip to Evanston last year. They are going to play with absolute reckless abandon. And its going to bite them in the ass a few times. As long as they play assignment defense, they will do well in stopping Walker's spread offense. I see Pittman crushing the 1000 yard mark and Marcel Frost becoming a huge factor in the passing game this week, giving Carr yet one more person to worry about next week. Northwestern 20 Ohio State 37

People were concerned about Iowa. Would we be able to shake off what they did to us last year, especially after losing the heartbreaker to Texas and the hangover win against SDSU? Well, the team responded with a resounding ass-kicking of Iowa. Now, going into the game against the other team that we get to play this year that beat us last year, we're not coming off a tough loss or a hangover game. We're coming off three solid wins--two of which were blowouts--with 40+ points scored. To put it simply, we're a [censored]ing juggernaut right now, and Northwestern is in for the [censored]ing ass-kicking of their season. I don't care what they did against any team this year coming into this game...Northwestern is Northwestern, and that's exactly how we're going to treat them.

we are playing for a shot at a big ten title. these boys are gonna be [censored]ing pumped. the defense now knows the offense can do their part. that lets them play with anger. they will not be timid in any way. they should pin their ears back and go for the kill from the first whistle. if not for what happend last year, I would feel sorry for n'western. but I don't. this will not be pretty, unless you are among those fortunate enough to be a buckeye.
BUCKS ROLL, 42-6

11/8 Buckeyes missed the boat on Sutton Akron star stayed with commitment to Northwestern By Doug Harris Dayton Daily News COLUMBUS | Ohio State coaches can attest that the way to Tyrell Sutton's heart is not through form letters. <!--endtext--> Those mass mailings were the only contact the former Akron Hoban High School star had with OSU until he rushed for more than 400 yards in one game as a senior last year and 500 in another. <!-- inset --> <!--begintext--> Although he had already committed to Northwestern, Sutton began getting some personal attention from the Buckeyes. His response? Don't bother. "For someone to have all these accolades and all these yards for four years, and you get passed up by your home-state college, it really doesn't make any sense," Sutton said Monday. "They had the opportunity for four years to try to pursue me." The 5-foot-8, 190-pound Sutton grew up a Michigan fan, but the only other Big Ten school to recruit him was Illinois. And he has a message today for all those big-time programs who thought he was too small. "Come look at me now," he said. "I've always had the attitude that if you don't want me, I'm going to make you wish you did want me." Sutton, a student with a 3.5 grade point average who won the Ohio Mr. Football Award last year and finished as the state's all-time leading rusher, has left most schools riddled with regret. The freshman is third in the Big Ten with 1,085 rushing yards, averaging 5.9 per carry, and second in touchdowns with 17. He's also caught 31 passes in the Wildcats' spread offense for another 300 yards. "He's got all the qualities you want a real good running back to have," said his high school coach, Ralph Orsini. "The person I always compare him to is Barry Sanders. Tyrell is a powerful young man, and he's got a great burst of speed. He sees an opening, plants his foot and goes." The Buckeyes signed one tailback last year, Florida native Maurice Wells, a Parade All-American who has rushed for a disappointing 133 yards this season (with a 2.8 average) while backing up another Akron product, Antonio Pittman. The trend in recruiting is to evaluate players early enough to make offers by the time they're juniors, leaving little room for rising seniors. The Buckeyes encountered the same dilemma with Findlay's Ben Roethlisberger, who was already a Miami lean when reports of him reached Columbus. The Buckeyes have at least one competent tailback in Pittman, who has rushed for 978 yards while averaging 5.4 per try. And they've gotten an oral commitment from Akron Garfield senior Chris Wells, who is the second-best running-back prospect in the nation, according to Rivals.com. But Orsini, whose team held the 6-1, 230-pound Wells to 105 yards on 31 carries in a victory this year, is skeptical of the ratings. Asked if he thought Wells would succeed at OSU, Orsini said: "If he plays to his potential. I didn't think he was a great back all the time. I thought he should have been in some games when he wasn't (because of injuries). Someone like Tyrell would have been in the game." Buckeye bits: • Receivers coach Darrell Hazell, who was hospitalized before the Illinois game because of an undisclosed illness, has rejoined the team, a school spokesman said. • The Ohio State-Michigan kickoff is set for 1 p.m., and the Nov. 19 game will be broadcast by ABC. Contact Doug Harris at (937) 225-2125.

So what Sutton's trying to say is that if both we and scUM actually did recruit him, he would have gone to scUM?
 . I'll never understand how you can grow up in Ohio (particularly NE Ohio) and be a scUM fan. All the more reason for our defense to hold him to 10 yards this weekend.
