Does Anyone else Think the Game VS Northwestern is a Litmus Test for the Rest of the Season?

It is time for this Ohio State team to gain momentum for the post season and look like a contender. I personally be watching the small mistakes and details that we should not struggle with against a team like Northwestern. I think this game could tell us how we play the rest of the season. Here is a Coaches List of things that I think we must be solid in to be a championship team.
1. OLine Blocking
2. Oline playing penalty free.
3. Qb playing mistake free.
4. The running game as a whole.
5. Defense stopping the run like a championship defense.
6. Tackling in space.
7. Coverage by the secondary.
8. LB/Safety play vs the Tight End in the passing game.
9. Not giving up those +15 yard plays.
10. Getting the starters out of the game early and getting them rest and free of injuries.
