I hope the shoe is rocking Saturday night!!

I'm not convinced that Wisconsin will be pissed off... there is always the chance that they just become disappointed in themselves.

I'm thinking that Nebraska 2nd half defensive collapse is just an aberration. What matters is how much better our offense will be after 2 weeks straight. With Jim Bollman in charge, I'm not that confident. I'm hoping for a miracle I guess.

This game worries me a little. This fat man posing as the Wisky coach loves to run the score up, especially on conference opponents. I wouldn't put it past him to try to take advantage of the situation in Columbus to put a big number up on the Bucks. If OSU doesn't come in with a strong defensive and offensive gameplan, this could be ugly. Blowing a team out at homecoming and a big recruiting weekend would be too much for Bielema to pass up.

If he can blow us out by all means do it. The talent is there for us to keep this game competitive and if we can't that is on the coaches. Hopefully heads will roll if the score gets run up.

They just spent themselves in a physical, emotional loss to MSU. I could see them coming out deflated this Sat, kind of like Nebraska was the week after they lost a big prime-time game to Wisky. OSU definitely needs to open things up and keep their D honest, they need to jump on them early.

Don't see a blowout, but Wisky has too much.

Wisc- 31
OSU- 23

Feelin' the upset in this one. Badgers bow to Buckeyes 24 - 18.

Bucks by 3--just a hunch

Everyone calling for the upset is almost making me feel optimistic. Sadly I don't think we have the offense to hang in there with Wisconsin. I'm debating if I'm going to go to this game or sit at home and watch it from the couch. I'm leaning towards going just in case we can somehow pull it off.

Should be absolutely crazy atmosphere being a night game on Halloween weekend!!

I'll be in North Carolina, hoping I will get to catch some of the game.

Wisconsin is favored by 7, supposedly.

Jamal Berry punched a kid,

I think it's time he is given his walking papers

Yep... see ya bye. This dude might party harder than Stephen Garcia

Given the other report about his involvement in an altercation several weeks ago, I'd say it's time to say "bye bye" also. That one led us to believe he had some kind of medical condition or reaction to medication. That could still be true, but this is too much smoke for there not to be fire.

It could be that he has mental or substance abuse issues that make him more violent. If that's the case, then get him help, but not as a member of the team. Use a medical waiver. If he's just a punk, kick his ass to the curb.

The Buckeyes have a lot of advantages going into this game, but unfortunately most are off the field. You've got the biggest home game of the year, at night, in the Horseshoe which will surely be crazy. You've go the pro combats, which laugh or not, seem to give some teams a boost when they wear them (whether or not this is coincidence is irrelevant.) You've got the revenge factor from last season's loss, coupled with the first home game back for Herron and Adams and you're facing a Wisconsin team that just lost a physical and emotional battle on the road the week before in about the worst way possible. They might come in pissed off, or they might come in still demoralized having to face arguably the toughest environment in the Big 10.

On the field it looks bleaker, but consider this: This matchup will be strength on strength. You've got the Buckeyes defense, which has played pretty well this season (especially when at home, and it's especially impressive considering they're constantly on the field due to having no offense) against a Wisconsin offense that is very explosive, but as we saw last Saturday, also capable of making turnovers against good defenses. The Buckeyes are going to need to force Russell Wilson to make some deep throws (his weakness) and grab some interceptions. Keeping the Badgers under 20 points isn't ridiculous to think could happen with a well executed game defensively.

Now on the other side you've got OSU's abysmal offense vs. the Badgers defense. Now Wisconsin's defense tends to get talked up, but they haven't really faced many good offenses (and to put things into perspective they gave up over 30 points to a MSU offense the Buckeyes held to 10). The Buckeyes clearly have a better run game with Adams and Herron back in the lineup and they should be pumped up to make their return to the Shoe (you could see Herron almost running with a bit of anger/hate in his step last game, he'll be ready to go). We all know the Buckeyes need to do a better job of throwing the ball, and hopefully the wind won't be 40mph. Braxton has had an extra week to heal his ankle/watch film/work on his mistakes. We all know what he can do (and what he brings to the offense) running the ball but he's going to have to throw well in order for the Bucks to have a chance. The more passes to Stoneburner, the better in my opinion as the TE is seemingly the least consistently covered position in football. If the offense can get Miller into a rhythm early and if his receivers help him out by fighting for balls (I'm looking at you Devin Smith and Philly Brown...is TY Williams really that bad not to see the field?).

The Bucks can win this game and it has all the makings of an upset. With some great defense, a few turnovers, and some luck....I see the Buckeyes avenging last season's loss and beating the Badgers. GO BUCKS!

OSU had a bye. Meaning they will do nothing different offensively. The defense was too tired to gameplan. So Wisconsin is gonna blow the buckeyes out. Over at halftime I'm afraid.

Well said Ytown. All the makings for a upset, not sure the talent gap isn't too much for Bucks to overcome.

Wisconsin by 21
