  "account": "Ohio State won a hard-fought game against Northwestern with a final score of 28-19, ending a two-game losing streak. Freshman quarterback Luke Fahey performed well, completing 21 of 32 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns. He showed improved composure compared to earlier games and connected well with freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who broke the Big Ten's all-time record for receiving yards, accumulating 3,875. This history-making achievement came after a challenging game for the Buckeyes, who trailed early due to a Northwestern field goal and made costly mistakes, including a fumble by Isaiah West and a touchdown on the final play. The defense, however, had a standout performance, recording five sacks against Northwestern. Despite the pressure, the offense managed to move the ball, with Fahey's accuracy helping maintain drives. The team's recent struggles were evident, as they still allowed big plays on third and fourth downs. Freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith led the way on offense, while the defense had a strong showing with multiple sacks. Northwestern's quarterback Nicco Marchiol put up a fight, making key completions and contributing with five receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. However, errors and sacks prevented the Wildcats from overcoming Ohio State's dominant performance.",
