INDIANAPOLIS — Northwestern did nearly everything it could to upset Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship.
The Wildcats (8-5, 8-1 B1G) couldn’t control Dwayne Haskins, however, and the Buckeyes (12-1, 8-1) topped the Wildcats 45-24 on the strength of their superstar quarterback.
To distill Saturday’s absurd game down to Dwayne Haskins feels wrong, but the Buckeye signal-caller was the answer every time the result was in doubt.
Down 17 at the half, Northwestern pulled within three late in the third quarter, but Haskins tossed two crucial second half touchdowns as a part of a 499-yard, 5-touchdown evening.
