Game Thread: #2 tOhio State at #8 Wisconsin - ABC 8 ET Saturday

[TheRobotDevil]

Nah the ACC is stronger IMO.

Why do you give the ACC the edge?

We though we were gonna bomb OSU last year and you saw how that turned out. Gotta wait and see. Nebraska is not terrible either.

I wasn't impressed with Nebraska. They seem like a poor man's OSU. Bad passing game with a power running offense and running QB with an avg defense. I wouldn't count OSU out from beating Michigan this year just yet despite the very young team. Hopefully your QB doesn't end up losing the game like ours did in the game vs you guys. He was your MVP with 3 picks and missing 7 bombs (3 wide open walk in TD's).

Would love to have had TDs instead of field goals. Should have gotten them on both drives.

Our defense has looked way off unfortunately, can Urban and co. make the necessary adjustments

313 yards in the first half for Wisky and 161 for Ohio State.

Wisconsin dominated the first half.

Sometimes TDs are tough to get.

The Michigan game was in Ann Arbor. And Wisky did almost pull that game out. Lets give the badgers some credit. We could very well see a Wisconsin/Michigan or Wisconsin/Ohio State rematch in the B1G CCG

The final score was 14-7, but Wisconsin never 'almost pulled the game out'. It was as one sided a game as you will see that ends with only a one score difference. UM had more than twice as many yards. They had 21 first downs to only 8 for Wisconsin and had the ball for 37 minutes. UM turned it over in the red zone once and missed 3 field goals -- that is what made the game close.

Wisconsin scored once and it was after a 60 yard interception return to the UM 30, giving them a short field. Other than that -- they went nowhere all game long. Wisconsin's QB was 9/25 for 88 yards and 3 interceptions. They had 28 carries for 71 yards.

Why do you give the ACC the edge?

The bottom half of the B1G is a joke and MSU's issues really brought the conference down. Top to bottom the ACC is stronger.

That Badgers OL just manhandled the Ohio State defense.

 

[Great Dayne]

It's almost like you wouldn't think Ohio State is not out there trying to stop them from scoring or something.....

Their redzone D has been good but the holding cost us a TD and we should at least try the TE in those redzone/greenzone situations.

tOSU has to find a way to run off-tackle. If they can't run Zone Read stuff or straight stretch plays, then their offense becomes very predictable and easy to defend.

If Wisky continues to control the edge on both sides of the ball, this game is over unless JT Barrett has a Heisman type 2nd half.

Their lower half is stronger but the top 4 teams in the BIG would destroy the top 4 of the ACC.

LOL @ Ohio State fans and Big Ten nutswingers.

Wasnt a good day for those middle ACC teams today though ....

The final score was 14-7 so the game wasn't really as one sided as you think it was.

You can only contain JT and Samuel for so long

Agreed, He had the time to do it but couldn't complete the deep passes so far. If they double Watt I think JT should have ample time to throw.

Meyer better light a fire under their collective asses in their locker room

Ok SEC creampie taker.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

How did they almost pull it out? Their defense was the only thing that kept them alive. It took a short 30 yard field for them to even get their one TD. I think they're a legit team but they were dominated statistically and 3 short missed field goals from it being a bigger loss

!4-7 Michigan didn't pull ahead until the fourth quarter. Wisconsin had 3 interceptions. Including 2 in the fourth if I remember correctly. That game could have gone either way. I wouldn't want a rematch if I was a wolverines fan.
