Head coach Paul Chryst and the Wisconsin Badgers (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten), 18.5-point underdogs, walked out of the Horseshoe on Saturday night with their second loss of the season after a lopsided defeat in the Big Ten opener.
For No. 3 Ohio State (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten), Saturday’s victory marked the 26th straight home victory over a Big Ten opponent, to add some context to the blowout loss.
The Buckeye’s top-ranked offense, led by Heisman hopeful C.J. Stroud, looked the part against UW, totaling 539 yards of offense on 7.7 yards per play. In short, Jim Leonhard’s defense didn’t have any answers.
On offense, Wisconsin mustered up 296 yards of offense, most of which came in the second half when the game was well out of reach, looking like a shell of themselves against one of the nation’s best programs.
Here’s a recap of Wisconsin’s road loss to the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes.
