Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Big Ten Championship Game preview: 5 reasons the Buckeyes win

Ohio State handled Wisconsin pretty handily the first time around, now it has to beat the Badgers one more time in the Big Ten Championship.

Chase Young’s impact

In the first game in Columbus, if you remember correctly, it was the start of Chase Young’s budding Heisman campaign. He had highlight after highlight that included four sacks, six tackles, and two forced fumbles. Quarterback hurries are an unofficial stat, but he was seen greeting Wisconsin’s Jack Coan more times than anyone can count.

The Badgers simply had no answer for the supremely talented defensive end.

So how will they stop him this time? You’ll probably see more doubles even than last game, but he still got through some of those. Even if he doesn’t and Wisconsin puts more formations and players his way, that should open things up for the rest of the deeply talented line.

Next … Ohio State is just better
