Jim Tressel is probably telling his Ohio State squad that Northwestern is a dangerous team. He probably is telling them that the ghost of Otto Graham will lineup in their offensive sets and Ara Parseghian has come back to coach the Wildcats. Truthfully, the Wildcats are more like a nicely trained house cat as they helped end Duke's 22 game losing streak on Saturday.

Northwestern is coming off a 4-8 season and 2-1 after defeating Northeastern and Nevada. The squad will not matchup well in any phases against the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes defense will feast on the last ranked Big 10 offense from a year ago and give quarter back CJ Bacher fits as he tries to handle the veteran defense.

Senior Adam Kadela, who plays linebacker, is the leader of the defense. He registered 80 tackles last season. The defensive secondary is suspect and will likely be targeted by Ohio State on Saturday afternoon.

The team does have one dangerous player in Akron Hoban alumni (one of Tressel's only mistakes in his tenure for not recruiting the scat-back) Tyrell Sutton. Unfortunately for Sutton, teams will key on his talents. Sutton was so good in 2006 that he was put on this years Maxwell Award watch list. Sutton ran for over 1000 yards for the Wildcats last season and is also a capable receiver. It would be no surprise to see him play in NFL in a role as a third down back or punt/kickoff returner when his eligibility expires at Northwestern.
