The game starts at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC (channel 1006 on Time Warner Columbus/Delaware).
It may not have been as pretty as we hoped it would be, but Cardale Jones led the Buckeyes to a 38-0 win over Hawaii last week. (Sure is nice to be in a position where a shutout isn't considered impressive enough.) This week, the Buckeyes face off against MAC powerhouse Northern Illinois. As certain SEC teams learned last week, you should never underestimate the MAC. The fact that Northern Illinois has been to the MAC championship game every season since 2010 and has won three of those years is just further proof that Ohio State can't afford to look any further ahead than today's 60 minutes on the gridiron.
