The last time Ohio State played Wisconsin, it changed the trajectory of each team’s program.
Saturday night, the Buckeyes want to maintain the status quo. The second-ranked Buckeyes (5-0) are 10-point favorites when they invade Camp Randall Stadium to play the No. 8 Badgers in what figures to be Ohio State’s toughest road game of the season.
Two years ago when the teams met in the Big Ten championship game, it proved to be the most significant game in coach Urban Meyer’s Ohio State tenure.
It’s easy to forget now, but the Buckeyes were underdogs against the Badgers in that 2014 game in Indianapolis.
