I wouldn't say Northwestern has no chance against Ohio State. They have a slim chance. Ohio State seems to overlook certain opponents. That is Northwestern's one chance in this game.
NW seems to be hanging in there. 24-21 OSU with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.
That's almost every team in the nation though .NW may very well win this game. If the Hawks had taken care of business; look where we might be right now.
After watching the Oklahoma vs Texas game I will reiterate that the referees in this matter. At one juncture Texas had nine penalties to two for Oklahoma. There were several calls that went to Oklahoma receivers that were questionable. Oklahoma got away with a few just blatant interference calls. Oklahoma DBs were schooled to try to get away with as much as possible.
If you don't think the B12 wanted Oklahoma to win...you are crazy...it's interesting. I expect the Buckeyes to get the majority of the close calls tonight.

OSU is their own worst enemy. they pass on 2nd and short too many times then a bad third down and they have to punt, they did this all year when they should run and pound teams more. And last nite they were sleep walking to start the second half as I think they thought they would cruise to 50-10 win.
Give Fitz credit as his team always fights and he pulls out all the stops on all phases of the game because he knows he is the underdog in talent most times and he coaches like he has nothing to lose.
