Welcome to Game Week for Wisconsin’s biggest contest of the year and undoubtedly its toughest test.
The Badgers and No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes will square off at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at Camp Randall. Wisconsin desperately needs a win to stay atop the Big Ten West and move closer to a trip to Indianapolis. Ohio State, meanwhile, is fresh off a massive win at home against Penn State and seems to be a legitimate national title contender yet again.
Wisconsin hosting Ohio State at night always feels like a closer game than we expect. But that was the old Wisconsin program. I have no idea if Luke Fickell’s first Badger team can get the Buckeyes on upset watch late in the fourth quarter.
