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.
