Pat Fitzgerald figures he will gain a few more gray hairs by the time No. 15 Northwestern steps on the field to face third-ranked Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game on Saturday.
As the Wildcats’ coach, it’s his job to figure out a way to contain the Buckeyes. And with Justin Fields leading their high-powered offense, well, good luck with that.
Then again, if Northwestern succeeds?
“Not gonna lie to you, it would be a helluva ride home on I-65,” Fitzgerald said.
The Wildcats (6-1) have been on one wild ride the past three seasons, from winning the Big Ten West to finishing last to winning the division again this season.
