Badgers Win More Big Ten Honors

The Ohio State Buckeyes are 8th in the most recent College Football Playoffs rankings. The Badgers’ biggest flaw has been giveaways; in fact, they’ve turned over the ball more than any team in playoff contention. Play the underdog Wisconsin Badgers in a game for all the marbles.

Another area of growth for Wisconsin has come in its receiving corps, an already-young unit that became even more inexperienced when its No. 1 wideout, sophomore Quintez Cephus, went down for the season with a leg injury. It’s always a feel-good story that Wisconsin develops three-star recruits and walk-ons into All-Big Ten stars.

He said he walks around the day before games staring at players’ eyes.

The Buckeyes loss to Iowa was the killer.

Biggest comeback: Penn State trailed 28-7 with one minute left in the first half last season and outscored Wisconsin 31-3 the rest of the way to win 38-31.

Numerous key figures are different this time around, but that score still hangs over the rematch – at 8 p.m. Saturday night in Indianapolis – even more than Ohio State’s 30-23 overtime victory in the 2016 regular season. They have the best running back combination in the Big Ten, and even against the No. 1 defense in America, the Buckeyes’ running backs need to play a major role.

The Wisconsin Badgers have quietly gone about their business since the opening kickoff in September. A loss would likely knock them out of the postseason race. Altogether, they are 2nd in the country, allowing only 12 points a game.

Along with Taylor’s opportunity for more honors Thursday, Deiter and Benzschawel could be considered for Offensive Lineman of the Year, while linebacker T.J. Edwards and defensive back Nick Nelson may be in the running for top honors at their respective positions.

Taylor reached 1,000 rushing yards in his seventh game, matching the FBS freshman record for fewest games needed to hit 1,000. He averaged 7.0 yards per carry and scored 13 touchdowns.

It’s not a secret who I’m going to suggest taking in this game. Ohio State -6, will cover, and add yet another trophy to their ever-expanding trophy case. And while the last time the two teams met in the Big Ten Championship game – a 59-0 demolition by the Buckeyes – wasn’t pretty for Wisconsin, this week’s recognitions indicate the Badgers have the talent to compete with Ohio State. That is something they are not extremely comfortable doing. The defeat was the first of the Meyer era and cost the Buckeyes a spot in the final BCS championship game. Ohio State topped the 50-point mark five times this year and ranks fifth nationally in scoring (43.8 points).
