A Brutus-themed wrecking ball is coming for Ryan Field on Saturday when Ohio State travels to Evanston, Illinois, to battle Northwestern.
The Buckeyes have defeated the Wildcats several times in the last few years, including two Big Ten Championship victories in 2018 and 2020. The previous regular-season meeting between the teams occurred on Northwestern's turf in 2019 and ended 52-3 in favor of Ohio State.
This season, the Buckeyes are ranked No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, AP Poll and Coaches Poll with a perfect 8-0. They will enter Evanston as 37-point favorites against the 1-7 Wildcats on Saturday.
