Northwestern hangs with No. 2 Ohio State but ultimately falls 21-7 — the Wildcats’ 8th straight loss

Ohio State beat Northwestern 21-7 on a rainy, windy Saturday at Ryan Field.

Ryan Day was more than willing to take the win and move on from this one. The way the wind was blowing and rain was falling at Ryan Field, it was hard to blame the coach.

The Buckeyes didn’t score until the closing minutes of the first half, when Emeka Egbuka ran it in from the 15. Stroud, the Big Ten leader in passing yards, set a career low with 76. He completed just 10 of 26 passes in his only game this season without a touchdown throw. But he ran for 79 yards, a big number particularly for a quarterback with minus-4 yards rushing coming in.

The Wildcats dropped their eighth straight, matching their longest skid since the 1998 team lost eight in a row. They are 5-17 since falling to Ohio State in the 2020 conference championship game.
