Northern Illinois vs. Ohio State: Complete Game Preview

After opening the season with a physical and emotional win over Virginia Tech on the road, No. 1 Ohio State (2-0) looked sluggish in a 38-0 victory over Hawaii last week. Urban Meyer will look to get his Buckeyes back on track as they host Northern Illinois this Saturday.

The Huskies aren’t just a typical walkover MAC team, though, as they’ve won the conference in two of the last four years, and they’re one of the favorites to win it again in 2015. Rod Carey’s squad is off to a good start, posting back-to-back wins over UNLV and Murray State to open the season.
