Game Notes

#5 Buckeyes overcome mistakes to beat the Wildcats 27-16.

Ohio State rushes for 285 yards, helping to overcome 3 fumbles lost. Lydell Ross rushes for 83 yards and 1 TD as the Buckeyes' running game limits Northwestern's chances to rally.

The Wildcats pull within a score on Jason Wright's 9-yard TD run late in the 3rd, but the Buckeyes allow Northwestern no closer and extend the lead on Mike Nugent's 30-yard FG in the 4th quarter.
