Ohio State@Wisconsion Preview Week 6

Ohio State@Wisconsin. Other than the fact that Bret Bielema has never lost at Camp Randall as head coach (16-0), Ohio State also needs to worry about some other things, namely PJ Hill. Hill is 14th in the nation in rushing and this is the first time the Buckeyes will face him. Last year Wisconsin was forced to bring its third string quarterback to Columbus as a result of injury and suspension and were held to just 12 net yards rushing. I expect this year to be much different. The Buckeyes ended that game with 28 unanswered points to win 38-17. But then again, who can Wisconsin blame for their meltdown to Michigan last weekend after being ahead 19-0?

The key in this game will be Ohio State's offense: if/how they can move the ball against a strong Wisconsin defense and help out the defense, unlike they did in the USC game where the Buckeye defense was repeatedly defending short fields for the Trojans. This is Terrelle Pryor's first real test and I trust in his ability to get into the endzone more than I do anyone on that team.

My pick+Ohio State.
