Six plays midway through the fourth quarter in Saturday’s game told the story of Ohio State’s season. In less than three minutes, the Buckeyes rode a roller coaster of momentum swings: an electrifying play negated by a penalty, special teams making an impact and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith with a game-changing play. The sequence late in the Buckeyes’ 28-19 win over Northwestern captured many of the themes that have defined Ohio State in 2026: inconsistency, impactful special teams and Smith’s ability to tilt a game. With Ohio State leading 21-13, on its second offensive possession of the fourth quarter, the Buckeyes had the ball in Northwestern’s territory.
