Ohio State’s first conference game of the season has a similar feel to the Buckeyes’ first game of the season as a whole.
Wisconsin is a run-heavy team offensively that will look to limit Ohio State’s number of possessions. At the same time, it also has a stout defense capable of slowing down the Buckeyes’ offense. Those items also appeared on the scouting report entering OSU’s season opener against Notre Dame.
Even though Notre Dame limited the Buckeyes to three touchdowns in that game, Ohio State proved it could grind out a tough win over a highly touted opponent by outlasting the Fighting Irish for a 21-10 victory.
