Ohio State beat Northwestern, 24-20, on Saturday afternoon to move to 7-1 on the 2016 campaign.
The Buckeyes looked good for parts of it, but the offensve was stagnate for most of the second and third quarters. Of Eleven Warriors readers polled, 91% rated the win a "C" or a D."
But remember, things are never as good or as bad as they seem. Despite only a four-point home win over an unranked team, some players played well!
As proof, the program doled out preliminary Buckeye leaves from the performance.
