The Buckeyes will want to make Wisconsin beat them with the pass on Saturday, but if the Badgers pull off the upset, it’ll likely dovetail with a dominant day on the ground.
Two of the top six all-time FBS rushing leaders, Ron Dayne and Jonathan Taylor, played for Wisconsin in the past 25 years. Of the top 10 leaders in career rushing touchdowns, two (Montee Ball and Dayne) were Badger greats. And with Braelon Allen this season, Wisconsin has another bruising back in the mold of its long list of recent star rushers.
But the Badgers haven’t seen overwhelming success in implementing Plan A against Ohio State over the course of their last eight games against the Buckeyes.
