Ohio State’s quest to win a Big Ten title begins Saturday as the Buckeyes begin conference play against Wisconsin, who will give the Ohio State another early test of toughness.
Even though Notre Dame limited the Buckeyes to three touchdowns in that game, Ohio State proved it could grind out a tough win over a highly touted opponent by outlasting the Fighting Irish for a 21-10 victory. The Buckeyes can undoubtedly build off of what they did well in that game – and learn from what they didn’t – as they prepare to play Wisconsin in another home night game televised by ABC at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Wisconsin has allowed only eight points and 246 yards per game in its first three games. The Badgers haven’t faced anything close to an elite offense, as their only Power 5 opponent so far ranks 90th in scoring offense and 97th in total offense this season. But there’s still reason to believe their early defensive success is legitimate, considering Wisconsin led the entire country in total defense a year ago.
That certainly leaves lingering questions about how good the Badgers are, especially on offense, as they scored only twice while turning the ball over three times in their loss to the Cougars. Wisconsin bounced back by scoring 66 points last weekend, but that came against a New Mexico State team that’s 0-4 this season.
