ESPN RECAP

Carlos Hyde, No. 4 Ohio State top Northwestern for 18th straight win

EVANSTON, Ill. -- No. 4 Ohio State took Northwestern's best shot on a wet and raucous night at Ryan Field, and the Buckeyes' perfect record is still standing. They can thank Carlos Hyde for that. Hyde ran for a career-high 168 yards and three touchdowns, and Ohio State rallied to beat No. 16 Northwestern 40-30 Saturday and extend the nation's longest win streak to 18 games. The Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) remained undefeated since Urban Meyer took over as coach last year. On a rain-soaked field and with a prime-time audience watching, they rallied from 10 down in the third quarter to take out a team aiming to show it could beat the best in the conference. Hyde, who was suspended for the first three games after an alleged conflict with a female in a bar this summer, prevented that.
