MWiatrak2077	2	Well, any belief that Ohio State was "rusty" on offense, that's all gone now. In an absolutely dominating fashion, Ohio State beat the Wisconsin Badgers 52-21, in a game where the score doesn't resemble the ass-whooping that took place. Ohio State took a 28-0 lead two minutes into the second quarter, and found themselves up 45-7 at the end of the third. Superstar QB CJ Stroud looked invincible, throwing 5 TDs, 1 INT, and 281 yards on a 10.4 Y/A. DC Jim Knowles took advantage of Wisconsin's meager passing offense, helmed by QB Graham Mertz, and held him to just 94 yards total. Ohio State, a team which is known for slow September starts, has absolutely dominated their September schedule, and looks like a clear-cut favorite to win the Big Ten. Led by coach Ryan Day, QB CJ Stroud, and star RB TreVeyon Henderson, this offense looks downright terrifying, - an offense which already ranked first in scoring & yards in 2021, somehow looks even better this year. Defensively, their improvement shouldn't go unnoticed. Holding Wisconsin to essentially zero TDs before garbage time, they got throughly outplayed on both sides of the ball. It's potentially too early to tell, but as of right now, it doesn't feel like anyone can beat Ohio State this season.

nw____	2	As good a performance as they could've given for the most part. I was shocked at how well they ran the ball (even though Wisconsin hasn't looked amazing so far this year). Surprised that they gave up any second half points with Knowles as their DC, but I am assuming that happened with the backups in (turned this one off early).

T-Thugs	5	Ohio State is 4-0 after a total domination of Wisconsin (2-2). Their win over Notre Dame also looks a little better after ND got back on the win train and pushed around a decent North Carolina team (3-1) in chapel hill.

JB_Gibson	2	I heard a talking head say that DC Knowles could have locked it down and kept Wisconsin in single digits. Seeing as how I'm always 50/50 on the Badgers, I'm hesitant to give them too much credit, but if Knowles wanted to lock them down, he should have. A Conference foe is not a time to play loose.

Due_Connection179	3	Since their terrible opening half vs Notre Dame, Ohio State has looked like an absolute machine. 3rd quarter vs Notre Dame on they have outscored opponents 188 to 54 (33.5 PPG differential). The Buckeyes really only have two "surefire" challenges the rest of the way: 10/29 at #9 Penn State & 11/26 vs #8 Michigan. Outside of those two games, they should be able to put it on cruise control with how much talent they have.
