Wisconsin suffered a major letdown last week against Illinois. I believe the Badgers got caught looking ahead to this matchup against the Buckeyes. Unfortunately, you have to be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. And that "it" is an Ohio State team that's firing on all cylinders on offense and defense.

One team boasts the nation’s top-ranked defense against the pas and the run, along with points allowed. And it is receiving two TDs. Ohio State’s defense is rated just behind’s Wisconsin for yards per game. All of which cries out for a modest final score, so it is better to receive (points) than to give here. The Badgers have covered in 14 of the past 19 away gigs. Though the offense is one-dimensional, ball control with RB Jonathan Taylor should keep UW within range.

Go ahead and look up and down these two rosters and find me the position group where Wisconsin is better than Ohio State. Some will say it's running back, but I disagree. At least I do this year. The Buckeyes are better than the Badgers everywhere you look, and are more likely to win this game by three touchdowns than by fewer than two.
