One big stat differential is Red Zone Offense. I think I saw that we are #4 in Red Zone scoring and Wisconsin is #34. Again, just like with TTUN, that is the difference between a couple TDs versus a couple FGs. I don't know how effective Wisconsin is in big play scoring but we have dozens of big play TDs throughout the year. Both running and passing. So we are better in scoring inside the Red Zone and we are better in scoring outside the Red Zone. I

Defensively we are just not giving up big plays this year. So apart from turnovers, Wisconsin is going to have to consistently drive 70+ yds to get a score. I just don't see this happening enough to keep up with our Offense.

BATTLE OF THE BIG TEN’S BEST: DOBBINS AND TAYLOR GO A THIRD ROUND

IMG_0620-476x530.jpg


The first time, hell froze over.

The second time, lightning struck twice.

There’s no way Ohio State shuts down the Big Ten’s best running back a third straight time, right?

“I’m very motivated. My team is going to try and lean on me to make plays, and I gotta make sure I am ready this week and have a great week of preparation so when my number is called, I am able to go out and execute,” Wisconsin junior running back Jonathan Taylor said in a teleconference interview Sunday.

Ohio State junior running back J.K. Dobbins has a legitimate argument against heralding Taylor with such a title, given their lopsided head-to-head matchups.

The Buckeyes are the only team in college football to hold Taylor under 80 yards on two separate occasions in his three-year career, running for just 93 total yards on 35 carries in his two prior meetings with Ohio State.

Meanwhile, Dobbins chewed up 174 and 163 yards in the same games, running for nine yards per carry while Taylor couldn’t manage three.

“I think the similarity is they’re both really, really good, talented football players,” Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst said. “They’re in different systems and play for different teams so I think that makes it harder to just say, ‘One’s this, one’s that,’ but they both mean a ton to their team and they’re both really, really good football players.”

Add in four touchdowns, and it was a career-high day in both categories for Dobbins, who notched his second-ever 200-yard game Saturday.

Why would we shut down Dobbins with a B1G champ on the line?

You can keep the O-H-I-O going from that section when the chant takes over. Your placement is of most importance.

Sat about 15 rows up on the 40 behind Wisky’s bench in ‘14. Recall that we in ‘14, like this year, had at least a week head start on getting tickets. We were in the stadium pretty early for the game and the section started filling up with tOSU people. Maybe 70% tOSU or so.

When the Wisconsin guy who sat in front of us turned around to look at the stadium he looked at me with that, “is this real” face. I responded with, “you thought you bought tickets on the Wisconsin side, didn’t you?”

I suspect that you’ll have zero problem finding someone to high five with throughout the game.

:lol: It might even be worse this time for Wiscy fans trying to find other Wiscy fans, seeing as it'll be only six weeks removed from the 31-point ass-whuppin' they took in The Shoe. Each friend of mine who's a Wiscy fan holds little hope of a positive outcome for their side...

I was also on the Wisconsin side in 14.

Sitting in Dulles airport waiting for my flight to that game a Wisconsin guy with his two kids sat across from me. He looked at me and said “you’re going a long way to see you team lose”. I just said “we’ll see”.

We’ll see again on Saturday. This time I won’t be there but we will see and then we will rejoice.

That is hysterical. Imagine the shock and horror he went through, knowing he said those words to you and that you were laughing at his expense.

...And for anyone worried about which section you’re in, this is a home game. We own Indy, make no mistake about it. They are the visitors, no matter which section the few of them sit in.
