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

Being the homer that I am I think our defense would have beaten scUM by two scores. I thought Spunkt should have been picked off at least another 3 times that game. While the skunk weasels are patting themselves on the back this week for crushing a beaten Rutgers team, I think they will see what a talented offense can do to the badger defense this week. Not saying it will be easy or anything, but in the end it won't be close.

Beating a #8 ranked Wisconsin team at Camp Randall will be a nice test for the good guys. To beat them convincingly will really make a statement. It could be a low scoring game, especially if there is going to be wind and rain. I just think our D is significantly better than there Offense and that will be the difference in the game.

Indiana's defense is pretty frickin' good.

I think this is lost on more than a few OSU fans. IU has been doing a good job with 3 star kids from Ohio lately and some of those kids can run really well. Honestly, I thought Tegray Scales coming out of Colerain was as good as Tyler Moeller. He certainly has speed and so do the rest of IU's defenders

Scales was pissing me off...he stuffed a couple runs big time. :lol:

'TYPICAL WISCONSIN': OHIO STATE RECOGNIZES TASK AT HAND IN DEALING WITH NO. 8-RANKED BADGERS

75199_h.jpg,qitok=RtQuBlKz.pagespeed.ce.hAYwk3xkNe.jpg


Urban Meyer wanted to be very clear.

“Against Indiana, we were in a bunch of nickel,” Ohio State’s head coach said Monday during his weekly press conference. “This week we will not be.”

Meyer and his second-ranked Buckeyes travel to Madison on Saturday for a primetime showdown with No. 8-ranked Wisconsin. Two of the Big Ten’s best teams will be on the national stage yet again.

But what Meyer was referencing was in relation to the Badgers’ style. In an era of spread offenses and playmakers making plays in space, Wisconsin gets things done with a more traditional approach.

The Badgers do what they do — run the ball on offense and stop the run on defense — and don’t plan on changing for anybody.

“It’s an NFL offense,” Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano said, referring to the Badgers’ pro-style attack.

Wisconsin’s run defense ranks seventh nationally, allowing 90.4 yards per game on the ground. Conversely, Ohio State’s rushing offense is No. 3 in the country, totaling an eye-popping 323.6 yards per game.

The Badgers struggle a bit offensively, however, as they rank just 108th nationally, but through five games, over 60 percent of their offensive plays (215 out of 354) are running.

“Those games are always fun,” Ohio State senior center Pat Elflein said. “It’s a Big Ten football game where there’s big, physical guys inside, good linebackers and it’s going to come down to if we can run the ball or if we can protect and if we can stop the run.

“Those games are always fun to play in.”

DEPTH CHART: OHIO STATE'S LINEUP REMAINS UNCHANGED BEFORE PRIME-TIME TILT AT WISCONSIN

Ohio State is unbeaten and ranked second in the country, so it doesn't see a need to change anything with regards to its two-deep ahead of its biggest game of the season so far.

The Buckeyes didn't suffer any injuries that we know about in their 38-17 win against Indiana on Saturday. So as a result, the depth chart the program released Tuesday afternoon looks exactly like the one before that game a week earlier.
