Northwestern Wildcats vs Ohio State Buckeyes team news & key players
Northwestern Wildcats team news
Northwestern's offense has been inconsistent, averaging only 19 points per game. Quarterback Jack Lausch brings a dual-threat element, ranking second on the team with 312 rushing yards, though his passing has been less reliable, with a completion rate of just 54% and only five passing touchdowns.
Cam Porter has been a key contributor in the Wildcats' ground attack, tallying 386 yards and six touchdowns. He’s also added 18 receptions for 127 yards, though he has yet to score in the passing game.
In the receiving game, A.J. Henning leads with three touchdowns, pulling in 40 receptions for 426 yards (47.3 per game). Joseph Himon II has contributed 230 rushing yards (averaging 25.6 per game) along with two touchdowns across nine contests.
Ohio State Buckeyes team news
Carson Hinzman took the starting spot at left guard for Ohio State last week but suffered an injury in the second quarter. While he did return to finish the game, the depth of the Buckeyes' offensive line remains an area to watch closely.
On offense, Ohio State is likely to move the ball with minimal resistance. Northwestern's defense has shown strength in run-stopping, allowing just over 100 yards per game on the ground. However, the Wildcats haven't faced a rushing duo quite as skilled as Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson, making it a unique challenge for their front line.
