Game Thread Ohio State at Wisconsin, 10/15/16, 8:00pm ET ABC/WatchESPN

Stave was a 2 time Big Ten champion, division champion, and a 22-6 starting record. He set school records for wins and win percentages. He threw for over 7,600 yards and 48 TDs, ranking second in both categories for Wisconsin history. He was also #2 in Pass attempts and #4 in completion percentage. He threw for over 200 yards in 18 games (school record). He was the winningest QB in Wisconsin history, a 4x Academic All Big Ten, and was the Bug Ten Medal of Honor recipient. He won 2 bowl games and was the MVP of one.

To Wisconsin, Stave is a big name...

Most pumpkin useless bit of info I've ever read...he can go pumpkin himself.(that's not meant to be mean SERE) Wisconsin can go pumpkin themselves as well. They are about to get prison pumpkin'd. If their defense was half as pumpkin good as people believe, they would have pumpkin'd scUM.


I think Hooker steals every award Peppers dreams of tonight in Madison.

59-0: A LOOK BACK AT THE LAST TIME OHIO STATE AND WISCONSIN MET ON THE GRIDIRON

What a night.

The last time Ohio State and Wisconsin played football against one another, the Buckeyes averaged 10 yards per play.

Not 10 yards per pass or 10 yards per run. A staggering 10 yards per play.

Urban Meyer's team entered Lucas Oil Stadium intent on making a statement to the College Football Playoff Committee. The Big Ten Championship Game represented the final chance the No. 5 Buckeyes had to show they belonged among the nation's top-4 teams. With No. 3 TCU sitting idle, Ohio State needed to convince the Committee it was playing like one of the four best teams in college football come noon the next day when the final rankings were released.

To say the Buckeyes did that is an understatement. Cardale Jones threw for 257 yards and three touchdowns in his first career start, Ezekiel Elliott averaged 11 yards per carry on his way to a then-career-high 220 on the ground with a pair of scores and nobody could cover Devin Smith.

Ohio State turned everything Wisconsin knew to be normal on its head. Melvin Gordon, the nation's leading rusher and Heisman Trophy runner-up, managed just 76 yards on 26 carries. Joel Stave had to throw 43 times—14 more attempts than any other game that season—because Gary Andersen literally had no other choice. Stave threw three interceptions. The Badgers couldn't move the ball, finishing with 258 total yards and punting eight times.

You get the point. The victory served as the first pit stop in the remarkable, improbable and unpredictable three-game stretch that ended in Dallas with Meyer hoisting the College Football Playoff trophy.

Here are more bits from that game. The next chapter in the Ohio State-Wisconsin series is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. Saturday.

ZEKE TO THE HOUSE

The Badgers and Buckeyes exchanged punts, then this happened.

The College Football Playoff committee agreed with Meyer and informed the world roughly 12 hours later the Buckeyes were ranked No. 4 in the rankings and set for a date with No. 1 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

Gary Andersen left Wisconsin for Oregon State a week after losing to Meyer and the Buckeyes. Melvin Gordon announced he was heading to the NFL. Meanwhile, Ohio State beat the Crimson Tide 42-35 then disposed of Oregon 42-20 to capture the national title.

But none of it would have been possible had it not been for Ohio State's pure domination of Wisconsin.
