Ohio State did something against Northwestern it couldn't do the first seven games of its 2016 season: Score a touchdown on its first offensive drive.
A few days after Urban Meyer spoke about having "12 good scripted plays" when his offense took the field for the first time, J.T. Barrett drove the Buckeyes 94 yards against Northwestern in under 3 minutes.
“I like the fact we started fast,” Meyer said. “It seemed like both teams had long drives.”
“We train for moments like that all offseason,” Mike Weber said of the long drive.
