My worry is stopping the run and play action pass. Wisconsin has a huge OL.
Hope the game plan is good.

Maybe stats wise, but take a look at the defenses they faced all season.
Average scores in conference play this year:
Ohio State: 46-20 (+26)
Wisconsin: 32-13 (+19)
Our average score in conference play outside of the Iowa debacle: 49-16 (+33)

DEPTH CHART: DWAYNE HASKINS LISTED AS OHIO STATE'S NO. 2 QUARTERBACK AS BUCKEYES PREPARE FOR BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
While Dwayne Haskins has been second in Ohio State's quarterback pecking order all season, his status as the Buckeyes' No. 2 signal-caller has now been made official.
On Ohio State's latest depth chart released Tuesday, there is no longer an "or" designation next to the names of Haskins and Joe Burrow. After Haskins led Ohio State to a comeback victory over Michigan in relief of J.T. Barrett on Saturday, Haskins is now publicly listed as the Buckeyes' sole second-string quarterback, while Burrow is listed as the third-stringer.
Barrett, who left the Michigan game with a knee injury after being injured by a cameraman, remains listed as the starting quarterback on this week's depth chart. Meyer said Monday that Barrett has "moved into probable" to play in Saturday's Big Ten Championship Game against Wisconsin.
Other than Haskins' delineation as the backup quarterback over Burrow, the rest of Ohio State's depth chart – which you can see below – remains unchanged from last week.

OHIO STATE'S DEFENSE WILL LOOK TO ONCE AGAIN CONTAIN AN EXPLOSIVE BADGERS' GROUND GAME IN INDIANAPOLIS
Melvin Gordon's Heisman Trophy campaign came crashing down in Indy.
Gordon's 2014 season was a sight to behold, unless of course you're a fan of a Big Ten program whose defense was decimated by the Wisconsin ground game. The Doak Walker winner and Heisman Trophy finalist put up one of the more impressive stat lines in recent memory. A stat line that makes Ohio State's performance in the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game all the more remarkable.
The story has been told a million times now, but it's always a fond memory. The Cardale Jones-led Buckeyes traveled to Indy as underdogs to a Badger team that had rattled off seven straight wins. The legend of "12 Gauge" began that night and would be the storyline of the first ever College Football Playoff, but the Ohio State defense had a story of its own.
Melvin Gordon had run circles around pretty much every defense he faced during the 2014 season. He was impressive in the season-opening loss to LSU, the road trip to Kinnick Stadium, and ultimately ran for 250+ and three scores in an Outback Bowl victory over Auburn. On Nov. 15 Gordon set a then FBS record with 408 rushing yards against Nebraska.
In a landscape filled with high-tempo spread offenses, the Badgers have long maintained their ground-and-pound reputation. Wisconsin's history at running back is exceptionally strong, and the National Football League has certainly taken notice. Gordon (Chargers), Corey Clement (Eagles), and James White (Patriots) all have made a significant impact for their new employers.
As Ohio State heads to Indianapolis this weekend, the Buckeye defense will be hoping for a repeat performance from three seasons ago.
The Buckeyes held Gordon in check all night and stymied the Badger offense. With less than a minute until halftime, Michael Bennett forced a fumble that Joey Bosa promptly scooped and took into the end zone. And just like that, Ohio State went into the half with a 38-0 lead and would go on to annihilate the West Division winners by a score of 59-0.
The 2017 version of the Badger offense once against features one of the more talented tailbacks in America. True freshman Jonathan Taylor has been the bell cow since week one and he's only gotten better as the season has progressed. The former four-star from Salem, New Jersey has rushed for 1,806 yards and 13 touchdowns while averaging 7.0 yards per carry. Taylor has ran for over 600 yards more than the conference's No. 2 rusher – fellow true freshman J.K. Dobbins.
Sophomore quarterback Alex Hornibrook typically isn't asked to do a whole heck of a lot for the Badgers, and Taylor has more than shouldered the load this season. Wisconsin hasn't faced the most formidable schedule, but the true freshman has topped the century mark in all but three games. In his stiffest test, Taylor totaled 132 yards and averaged 6.9 per carry against a stout Wolverine defense.
