Regardless, the Buckeyes will leave Evanston with an undefeated 9-0 record and will be back at Ohio Stadium next weekend after back-to-back weeks on the road.
On Saturday, weather conditions were hardly favorable for OSU, with strong winds gusting throughout the afternoon mixed in with rainstorms.
That led to C.J. Stroud's worst passing performance of the season, as he completed 10 of 26 passes for 76 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. However, he did contribute a career-high 79 rushing yards on six carries. With TreVeyon Henderson having to miss Saturday's contest, Miyan Williams picked up the slack, running for 111 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries.
