Ohio St opens Big Ten slate vs. Northwestern
Sep 22, 2007 - 12:36 PM Northwestern (2-1) at No. 8 Ohio State (3-0) 3:30 pm EDTCOLUMBUS, Ohio (Ticker) -- Ohio State likely won't need a second-half rally this week.
The eighth-ranked Buckeyes return home Saturday to open Big Ten Conference play against Northwestern, which is coming off an embarrassing loss.
Ohio State is looking for a school-record 22nd consecutive regular-season victory.
Last week, Ohio State trailed, 7-3, early in the third quarter before coming on strong for a 33-14 triumph at improving Washington.
Todd Boeckman threw for 218 yards and two touchdowns and Beanie Wells rushed for 135 yards and a score for the Buckeyes, who won the turnover battle, 4-0.
Despite surrendering 346 yards to the Huskies, the Buckeyes rank third nationally in total defense, yielding 197 per contest.
Northwestern was unable to run its record to 3-0 like Ohio State after losing at home to lowly Duke, 20-14. The Blue Devils had lost a national-worst 22 consecutive contests.
Wildcats quarterback C.J. Bacher threw for 368 yards but threw four incomplete passes from the Duke 7 in the waning seconds. He also tossed two interceptions.
Northwestern stunned Ohio State three years ago but has been outscored by 102-17 in the two meetings since.
