Where else but Chicago, home of 'Second City', would John Belushi show up reincarnated as a Ryan Field usher
Coach Daniels must have said the right things to Terrelle Pryor(2) as he was 9 of 14 passing with 3 touchdowns
Ohio State 45 Northwestern 10
VS
The seniors on this Northwestern team must be glad to not have to play the Buckeyes anymore. They ended their careers 0-4 versus Ohio State and were outscored 205-34, that is even worse then Henne and Hart's record! With Iowa's win over Penn State, the Buckeyes find themselves back in a tie for first place in the conference again. Two more wins and our seniors can claim 4 Big Ten Championships and 4 wins over the Wolverines. Sounds good to me, now if they can just go out and do it.

Here is the Northwestern student section at kick-off, not exactly representing support for their 7-2 team
Over 20,000 Buckeye fans including Buck-I-Guy were there in full force and long before the game began
In the battle of quarterbacks, Terrelle Pryor(2) managed 197 yards passing and 33 yards rushing on 6 rushes
For the Wildcats, Mike Kafka(13) had 177 yards passing and 83 yards rushing but had 29 carries
The offensive line once again under achieved and there were no holes for Beanie Wells(28) to run through
Terrelle Pryor(2) was one of the first to congratulate Chris Wells(28) after his big TD ran that got things started for OSU
When the holes were not their, he had to make his own by running people over, here for 55 yards and a TD
James Laurinaitis(33) continued to show his leadership
with 11 tackles and an interception
On 4th down in the 4th quarter, Tressel surprised a lot of people with a fake punt that worked to perfection
Another nice surprise was the play of Nathan Williams(43) who single-handedly stopped Northwestern last threat
Surprise 3 was the return of he Brian's. Robiskie(80) had three receptions, two of which were touchdowns
Brian Hartline(9) averaged 45 yards per catch, with receptions that set up two Buckeye touchdowns
At game time, we didn't know Iowa would beat Penn State. The sad part is, the Buckeyes may have had a better shot at the Rose Bowl had the Nittany Lions won out
The Buckeyes need to find ways to get DeVier Posey(8) back into the offense
Brutus Buckeye is always there to raise up the crowd, and always takes time to pose for photos with the Buckeye fans Buckeye 50 Brutus Photo Page
The players participate in a post game prayer after each game. Think that he is praying for Roses?
