Ohio State vs. Northwestern: 2020 game preview and prediction

No fans? No problem. Missing two games? No worries. Interim head coach? Just an older version of “next man up.” Thus far this season, the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes (5-0) have risen to every unimaginable (by 2019 standards, at least) challenge the universe has thrown in their general direction. But now, in a year where everything else has been strange and unexpected, the Buckeyes are on the hunt for something that’s been remarkably consistent in recent years: a Big Ten title. This time, against the 6-1, Big Ten West champion Northwestern Wildcats. And with a spot in the College Football Playoff on the line.
