There are numerous adjectives that could describe Northwestern’s visit to Memorial Stadium in Nebraska. Disappointing is probably the first that comes to mind for many, sobering might be the word of choice for some. Realistically, the best descriptor is probably frustrating.

The rhythm of Ohio State’s offense this fall has felt less like chaos and more like composition — a carefully layered, perfectly timed symphony with Julian Sayin as its conductor.
