EVANSTON, Ill. – Damon Arnette wouldn’t have been able to hide his satisfaction if he tried. And he most certainly didn’t make any attempt to do so.
Standing against the wall under the south stands of Ryan Field with a cast on his hand a bit after 11 p.m., he kept a grin on his face. Why wouldn’t he stay smiling? Nobody in Ohio State’s locker room should feel anything other than satisfaction after the team’s latest win, a 52-3 beatdown of Northwestern on the road.
“I think each week, us going into the games thinking that we've got something to prove, that's what's keeping that chip on our shoulder because no matter how well we're playing, we still hear the doubters,” Arnette said.
