Even though Wisconsin’s defense leads the nation in points allowed per game, yards allowed per game and yards allowed per play, Ohio State’s offense has reason to be confident going into this weekend’s game.
After all, the Buckeyes’ offense also ranks as one of the nation’s best in every major statistical category. Ohio State currently is third in the Football Bowl Subdivision in points scored per game and fifth in both yards gained per game and yards gained per play.
More than halfway into the regular season, Ohio State has shown a consistent ability to move the ball and score points week in and week out – the Buckeyes have scored at least 34 points and accumulated at least 469 yards in all seven games they’ve played – so there’s no reason for them not to believe they can do the same against the Badgers on Saturday.
