Wisconsin Vs. Ohio State Preview

This Saturday the Wisconsin Badgers prepare for an intense challenge as they face off against the #3 Ohio State Buckeyes at 6:30 p.m. CT. The rivalry between these two teams dates back to 1913, and while Wisconsin had the upper hand in their first clash, their overall record against Ohio State hasn't been as favorable. The Badgers have managed just 17 additional wins since their first match and have tied only five times. The last victory came in 2010, with a 31-18 win. 

ESPN’s Matchup Predictor has crunched the numbers and it’s not looking great for the Badgers. They're only at 12.1% compared to Ohio State's 87.9%.

The Defense Strategy: Countering Kyle Mccord

Ohio State's quarterback Kyle Mccord is on fire this season, already racking up 12 touchdowns. The Badgers’ defense will need to be strategic and aggressive to neutralize him. Hopefully, inside linebacker Maema Njongmeta can continue his momentum from last week when the Badgers played Illinois, he managed an impressive 12 total tackles with a sack.
