    Interesting article, I also think this game will be close. However, I disagree with your analysis that Wisconsin has a 'big edge' running the ball against Ohio State's defense. OU 'seemed' to run the ball effectively from the stat line, but half of those yards were scrambles by their mobile QB when plays broke down. Wisconsin doesn't have a mobile QB.

    Also, I think Wisconsin only has an edge running if they can throw effectively. OSU will load up the box and force Evridge to make plays. If he can't loosen up OSU's secondary, it'll be a long night for PJ Hill and the other Badger running backs.

      Thanks for your comments. I agree about Ohio University's success with their mobile QB. My point is Wisconsin's success at running the ball is due to their massive OL and quality RB depth. Both of those factors can wear down a defense.

      Thanks again for your comments.

      Thanks - I just figured it would be close and relatively low-scoring.

      Thanks again.
