Death, taxes, brats, beer, cheese, and running backs and offensive lineman. Those are the things that seem to be abundant on every street corner in Wisconsin. It’s no different this year. Jonathan Taylor is one of the best running backs in the Big Ten, and he does it all behind another really good line.
But Ohio State’s combination is better in 2019.
The Buckeyes O-line has been decimating good defensive fronts this year. Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin all have a very good front seven, yet the Buckeyes ran all over those teams and — despite being a balanced outfit — have the fourth best rushing attack in the country.
The fact that Justin Fields has just one interception on the season also speaks volumes for the pass protection that group is rolling out. This game will be won in the trenches, and on the ground. It’s a short, short list of teams that can compare to OSU in those departments.
