More I think about it, the more comfortable I get with this game. Just looked up box scores and found an interesting stat. Since 2004, Wisconsin has only run for over 100 yards once on Ohio State when playing either at the Shoe or on a neutral field. That lone 100 yard game was Melvin Gordon and James White combining for 104 yards in 2013 against one of the worst OSU defenses in recent memory. Meanwhile, Ohio State has rushed for 200 yards or more in every home or neutral site matchup since 2004 except for the lone game in 2013 when OSU rushed for 196 yards. Bucky is a formidable team for under the lights in Camp Randall when they're allowed to basically hold all game. Outside those confines however, they're a paper tiger.

If the weather really is going to be crap on Saturday, you have to think that favors Ohio State much more than Wisconsin. Statistically Ohio State has the much better run game.

One more important over/under:

Number of offensive holding penalties on Wiscy's O-Line: 1.5

I'm hoping for the over, those are drive-killers for their offense.

Under.

Happy Fuck Bucky Friday only one more day and Buckeyes fuck Bucky for real at high noon!!! Rain may provide lubricant needed for Bucky butt to save them the pain of Buckeyes going in dry.

Ohio State 59, Wisconsin 0: Inside the shocking blowout that turned the first CFP race upside down
Heather Dinich
ESPN Senior Writer

"The Big Ten championship game? It's completely erased from my memory. ... To me, in my mind, it's like that game never even happened. Obviously Ohio State had our number that game, but I wouldn't be able to tell you about it because I completely erased that from my memory." -- Vince Biegel, Wisconsin linebacker, 2012-16

Thirty-seven days before Ohio State lifted the inaugural College Football Playoff trophy, the Buckeyes traveled to Indianapolis as 4.5-point underdogs preparing to hand a third-string quarterback his first collegiate start.

Cardale Jones, who had begun the season No. 3 on the depth chart behind now-injured starters Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett (and had 17 career pass attempts), would be pressed into service on Dec. 6, 2014, at Lucas Oil Stadium for the Big Ten championship, a game OSU had to win to keep its seemingly fading CFP hopes alive. The Buckeyes did that and then some, moving from No. 5 in the CFP rankings into a coveted position in the top four thanks to a 59-0 dismantling that virtually no one -- from Ohio State, from Wisconsin, or in the CFP committee room -- saw coming. In the aftermath, the Buckeyes would march toward a piece of college football history, while the fallout for the Badgers -- who had entered the day ranked No. 13 and in the hunt for a New Year's Six bowl game -- would instead center on an unforeseen change at head coach.

With Ohio State and Wisconsin set for another key matchup in their series on Saturday -- an installment that again figures to have league-title and CFP implications -- we asked several of the key participants from the 2014 Big Ten title game, as well as members of the CFP committee, to tell ESPN what they remembered about a game that stunned observers and led to one of the most controversial and difficult decisions the committee has had to make in its short existence.

Part I: 'I was the last quarterback left'

Ohio State, at least in the court of public opinion, had been eliminated from the playoff discussion back in Week 2, following a stunning home loss to Virginia Tech. On that night, injured three-year starting quarterback Braxton Miller watched from the sideline with his right arm in a sling as his replacement, J.T. Barrett, threw three interceptions.

Ohio State hadn't lost since.

Then, late in the regular-season finale win against rival Michigan on Nov. 29, Barrett broke his ankle, creating a ripple of uncertainty as Ohio State's fate in the postseason hinged on the arm of an unproven quarterback playing against the Big Ten's No. 1 scoring defense. Even in a win, would a shaky performance from Jones keep the Buckeyes out of the playoff field? It was a legitimate concern.

Cardale Jones (Ohio State, quarterback, 2012-15): If a guy gets carted off the field, what are you going to do? Who's going to start over me? I was the last quarterback left.

Urban Meyer (Ohio State, head coach, 2012-18): I was very concerned that, you're down to your third-string quarterback, would they keep us out because they didn't think we could compete? I mean, how many teams do that?

Bill Hancock (CFP executive director, 2012-present): I think we all just thought, "Let's see what happens." Somebody told me that [Jones] was pretty darn good, but we were all just waiting to see what happens. There wasn't any speculation about what if this, what if that.

Cont'd ...

SIAP:

Joey Bosa (Ohio State, defensive end, 2013-15): They just lost to Illinois. What the hell? That's not a game. That's my answer. I'm not worried.

I hate and don't understand the new 'we don't discuss injuries' policy. Austin Mack on the game time decision list with 0 context. Cool

I’m not crazy about it either but I think I get it? Tyler Friday left the northwestern game and no one has asked or said anything about it either. Maybe Mack tweaked in practice or something.
