Northern Illinois vs. Ohio State College Football Week 3 Preview, TV Schedule, Prediction

TV Schedule: Saturday, Sept. 19, 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN2

Stadium: Ohio Stadium

Line: Ohio State (-34.5)

The Northern Illinois Huskies will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in Week 3 of the 2015 college football season. If you are a Huskies fan, good luck — things are more than likely going to get ugly in a hurry.

You know, since the Buckeyes have players like Cardale Jones, J.T. Barrett, Ezekiel Elliott and Braxton Miller. All of those players are more than capable of taking over a game … and winning a Heisman Trophy.

For all it’s worth, Northern Illinois does enter this contest with a perfect 2-0 record. Of course, Ohio State is the toughest team on the Huskies’ schedule. You can say that about any team (yes, any) that has to take on the defending national champs, though.

While the Buckeyes are coming off a 38-0 victory, Jones only had 111 passing yards in said victory. The team as a whole didn’t have a single passing TD. Of course, Ohio State is loaded with weapons, and Elliott led the charge with three rushing TDs.

Ohio State should have no problem recording victory No. 3, but QB Drew Hare could make things interesting with his arm. Hare already has 718 passing yards and six TDs on the year.

Being one of the most talented teams we have seen in a very long time, Hare having the game of his life simply won’t be enough. The Huskies’ defense will also have to come up big. With playmakers all over the field for the Buckeyes, that seems like a pipe dream at this point.

PREDICTION: Huskies 10, Buckeyes 49
