Buckeye Leaves: Ohio State beats Northwestern in final road game of season

CHICAGO — For the second straight week, Ohio State blocked a punt. No, the Buckeyes didn't score a touchdown or record a safety from it. Another week, another short field handed over to the offense for an easy touchdown drive. That's how the Buckeyes made an early seven-point deficit into a halftime lead -- a lead they extend in the second half for a blowout win over Northwestern.
