Ohio State coach Ryan Day compared trying to throw the ball during last week’s 50 mph gusts in Evanston, Illinois, to a golfer trying to play in similar wind. We’ll continue the golf theme by pointing out how the Buckeyes bogeyed against Northwestern 21-7, which opened the door for Michigan to move atop the rankings.
It could have been worse for Ohio State – at least it wasn’t a quadruple bogey – but struggling against a 38-point underdog that was 1-7 is no way to impress the BTPR.
Illinois, meanwhile, fell back to earth in the West, which is a sea of mediocrity.
