Defense Wins it for Lions
The Lions shut down the Northwestern offense on the road to stay undefeated and setting up a big contest at home next week against unbeaten and #1 ranked Ohio State. Obviously the Big 10 title is on the line.
We are going to have to play well on offense and defense to beat this team. This is the strongest team I have seen out of OSU since my start here. To beat USC in Los Angeles snapping their 45 game home winning streak and to do it by a big margin says it all. Also having the week off last week doesn't hurt Ohio State.
