Uh, being 2-3 against Wisconsin isn't "having their number". His record against them could easily be 1-4 had it not been for Beanie's second-half explosion in last year's game...

Ohio State just has to be more aggressive, which will make Wisconsin more likely to give up big plays because it seems like Michigan was exploiting that in the second half.
It seems like Ohio State's speed on offense should be able to capitalize on Wisconsin's defense. |

Wisky vs. Ohio State
Ohio State and Wisconsin is going to be an epic struggle for the Bucks. Unless I am completely wrong (and I could be) Ohio State better play like their backside is on fire. They havent done that yet this year. Michigan won, (Gosh I hate that phrase) because they played balls out for a half and Wisconsin helped.
My prediction is: Ohio State 23 Wisconsin 20 Stop the run and make them pass. Put 14 players at the line of scrimmage. OK I know but shut down the run or it will be a long-long-long day. ![]() ![]() |

My point about nobody on the perimeter was in reference to their WRs.. they have a pair of great TEs.. but Im talking about locking up their WRs with Malcolm and Chimdi/Dwash..
And allowing the rest of our D to focus on their run game and the two TEs |

Before everyone gives themselves ulcers thinking of Beckum tearing up the Buckeye DBs, remember he's been fighting a pulled hamstring for most of the season, and only has six catches on the year. He didn't play against UM until the 4th, when UM took the lead, and had only 2 receptions for 17 yds. Beckum minus speed is not very scary. Winconsin's passing game minus Beckum is not very scary. This could be the second year in a row that we get UW without one of their top offensive players. I'm fine with that.

UH, what? You make it sound is if we won on some fluke play. Beanie kicking ass doesn't make JT lucky to beat UW.

Wisconsin only rushed for 12 yards last year!!! Boeckman had a very good game. It was a complete team effort in dominating Wisconsin. |

On defense the Badgers were doing a great job of containing Beanie Wells until starting DT Jason Chapman suffered a season ending knee injury. Wells' success directly correlates with Chapman's departure from the game. You can somewhat attribute the turnaround to Wisconsin's continual 3 and outs on offense, forcing the defense to remain on the field too long. But the avalanche of momentum in OSU's favor and corresponding substantial deficit created wouldn't likely have occurred with Jason Chapman on the field. I might have said in the pre-game thread that the position where Wisconsin could least afford attrition was defensive lineman. Regardless, take my word for it, I had that discussion elsewhere. Wisconsin only went about 5-deep on the defensive line, with the depth being an undersized rush end. The same situation occurs this season. The 2nd half success OSU had against Wisconsin last season only translates if one of the 2 starting DT's sustain an injury and OSU is forcing continual 3 and outs against the Wisconsin O in the 2nd half. From a caliber standpoint I'm not very concerned about the Michigan game's implication on this particular match-up. Wisconsin stormed to a big first half lead indicative of the team's strength and in the 2nd half succumbed to the losing history at the Big House of Horrors which was bandied about amidst the media previous to the game. Wisconsin doesn't have the same history against OSU, nor at Camp Randall. What I am concerned about is the potential hangover from a demoralizing loss. But I've recovered for the most part, and so should they. Wisconsin still controls their destiny basically when it comes to winning the Big Ten and the schedule unfolds very favorably. No prediction about the outcome at this time....I'll provide it closer to gametime. There are a lot of important variables like: Beckum's health, Graham's health, and the expected role of John Clay; which are still unknown. |
