It has been a bit of a slow start for Ohio State in its game against Northwestern but things are starting to slowing turn in the right direction for the No. 2 team in the country.
The game is in the venerable Wrigley Field, so it has to be a treat for the fans that made it, and even more so for Buckeye receiver Carnell Tate, who is from the Southside of Chicago. You have to wonder what kind of places he is frequenting being back in his hometown, but one place we know of, is the end zone.
Tate made an unbelievable catch at the end of the first half to put Ohio State up 21-7 and it was one worth rewatching, or getting a look at for the first time if you haven’t already. Watch from another slow-motion angle as Tate lays out, catches the ball, then rolls over in mid-air on his back to protect the catch for a clear score.

Ohio State is up by two scores thanks to capitalizing on a couple of turnovers by Northwestern. We’ll see if the momentum gained in the second quarter can carry over to the second half.
