Ohio State offense putting up worrisome display in road matchup vs. Northwestern

Ohio State’s offense is not playing too hot in the game with Northwestern. Is the rainy weather starting to effect Ohio State’s offense?

The running game was not been able to get going as Miyan Williams has been shut down. Quarterback C.J. Stroud also struggled with under 50 yards passing in the first half.

It’s still early, but things are not going well for Ohio State. The Buckeyes have had slow starts in their past three games. Iowa and Penn State were no different. Ohio State did manage to score just before the half on a 15-yard TD rush from Emeka Egbuka.

Fans on social media talked about how this has become the norm for Ohio State recently. If the Buckeyes don’t figure things out it could get even worse against 1-7 Northwestern.

Here’s how the fanbase reacted to the poor start:
