FILE - In this Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016, file photo, Indiana running back Devine Redding, right, is tackled by Ohio State linebacker Raekwon McMillan during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016, in Columbus, Ohio. After blowing away opponents in the first four games, Ohio State’s plummet back to earth has included offensive woes, an upset by unranked Penn State and a narrow escape against three-touchdown underdog Northwestern at home. McMillan offered some perspective: He noted how difficult it is for a team of mostly inexperienced players to go on the road and win in Saturday night games, as the Buckeyes did against Oklahoma and Wisconsin this year. The loss to Penn State at Happy Valley also was a raucous night game that ended in the rain. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete, File)

FILE - In this Oct. 17, 2015, file photo, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer leads his team on to the field before their NCAA college football game against Penn State in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio State considers last week’s stunning upset by Penn State an aberration, and recent history shows the Buckeyes probably aren’t going to lose two in a row. But the Buckeyes are vulnerable right now, still smarting from the upset by Penn State last week. And Northwestern, which visits Ohio Stadium Saturday, is playing well, having won four of its last five after a slow start. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete, File)
