The Buckeyes have had a week to prepare for a Wisconsin team that is reeling from a 37-31 defeat @ East Lansing on a Hail Mary pass. There will be no sympathy coming from Buckeye Nation because OSU owes Bucky and the Badgers a little payback after they knocked OSU from the top spot last year. HC Bret Bielema shot his mouth off this year about the whole Jim Tressel fiasco. Whether it's justifiable or not, you don't kick a program down when they're at their most vulnerable. Bret has not always been a sportsman and comes off sounding like a jerk at times. It'll be interesting to see how Wisconsin reacts this Saturday night after their BCS NC hopes were shattered. LOL!!

How will the passing game stand up this week? I hope it's better than the 1 completion against Illinois. Wisconsin will stack up 8-9 men in the box daring OSU to throw. OSU better have a solid week of practice because now is not the time to find their identity. Jim Bollman better draw up the best plays for Miller because the offense needs to be razor sharp.

OSU has not done well recently under the lights in the Horseshoe. Except for Marshall last year, OSU has lost to USC, Penn State and Texas since 2005. At the beginning of the season, I was excited about this matchup but injuries, suspensions and an offense that has looked offensive, has put a frown on my face. I don't see my frown turning upside down this Saturday night. With that said...

Prediction: Wisconsin 24   OSU 7  The Badgers win convincingly.

GO BUCKS (Prove me wrong)!!!
