No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Wisconsin Badgers: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The Wisconsin Badgers host No. 3 Ohio State on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, hoping to ruin the Buckeyes undefeated season. Ohio State hopes to keep its perfect record intact en route to a College Football Playoff appearance. Just two teams remain unbeaten in the Big Ten, Ohio State and No. 2 Michigan, and they won't meet until the final game of the season.
A win for the Badgers would also break a nine-game losing streak to the Buckeyes dating back to 2011. The last Wisconsin win over Ohio State was a 31-18 victory in Madison in 2010. The two programs have met three times in the Big Ten Championship game during that period, with the Buckeyes winning all three, including a 59-0 beatdown in 2014.
Ohio State owns the overall series 62-18-5 with the last of five ties coming in 1958.
The Badgers will rely on running back Braelon Allen who leads the Big Ten with 100.7 rushing yards per game and is fresh off a 145-yard game in the 25-21 win at Illinois. Last season, Allen rushed for 165 yards in Wisconsin's 52-21 loss to Ohio State.
The Buckeyes' defense could be trouble for Allen and the Wisconsin ground game, as Ohio State ranks fifth in the country in yards allowed per game with 260.1, second in yards per play at 3.93, and 18th in rushing yards allowed per contest with 100.57.
