Previewing Northern Illinois and Western Michigan by the numbers

The Buckeyes get two directional Midwestern universities in a row -- does either one have a chance at an upset?

Right before the start of the Big Ten conference slate, the Buckeyes get two final tune-up games in Northern Illinois and Western Michigan. While neither team is necessarily going to keep Urban up at night, Northern Illinois was a double digit win team last season and Western Michigan has a seriously legit quarterback and running back duo.

Can either of these teams knock off Ohio State?

No. Well, probably not. It would be a huge upset, like an Indiana-over-Ohio State level of upset.
