With the hilarity of the Scandal Up North, this week's matchup crept on me and probably you too. And now, here we are, just one sunrise from No. 3 Ohio State putting its undefeated record on the line against a Wisconsin Badgers outfit led by former Buckeye player and coach, the esteemed Luke Fickell.
I’ve yet to see a game this season where the defense comes out sluggish for Ohio State. Even after Notre Dame sustained a long drive on its first series, the Buckeyes firmed up and got a fourth-down stop. I don’t think Wisconsin will have sustained offensive success at any point on Saturday. Because of that, I don’t think a slow start offensively will matter much at all in terms of OSU getting a victory.
Through seven games, are there any guys you’d like to see get more snaps than they’re currently receiving? Cody Simon ate into Steele Chambers' snaps at Purdue but the distribution reverted back to 'normal' versus Penn State. Sonny Styles playing enough? What about the running back room? Carnell Tate has 224 fewer snaps than Julian Fleming but 12 more receiving yards.
