Ohio State visited Ryan Field to play a top-20 Wildcat team and came away with a 40-30 victory. Ohio State scored first with a 27-yard field goal, but Northwestern took the lead after a touchdown pass between the two quarterbacks halfway through the quarter. The OSU defense shut down Northwestern who was forced to punt out of the endzone. Bradley Roby was one of multiple defenders who reached the punter and he recovered the blocked punt for a touchdown. Both Northwestern quarterbacks were extremely efficient with Kain Colter completing 12 of 12 for 98 yards and Trevor Siemian completing 13 of 18 for 245 yards and two touchdowns. Iowa took the lead in the second quarter and held the lead until early in the fourth quarter when Carlos Hyde had a two yard rushing touchdown. Doran Grant intercepted the ball at the 23 yard line prior to Hyde's touchdown. Carlos Hyde had a career game with 168 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Northwestern scored on the next possession to once again take the lead 30-27. Carlos Hyde continued to rack up the yards and Ohio State once again led 34-30. Northwestern fumbled the ball on its last possession and freshman lineman Joey Bosa recovered the fumble for a touchdown in the last seconds of the game.
