If OSU won 59-0 like in 2011, I’d say yes. But they had to hang on against a Wisconsin team that frankly was vastly overrated.
That was 2014 not 2011. In the 59-0 win, OSU shut down the 3 place finisher in the Heisman race. Melvin Gorder ran for 76 yards, his 2nd worst game of the season. In the Sugar Bowl, they shut down the 2nd place finisher, holding Amari Cooper to 71 yards receiving. In the National Championship game, they throttled Oregon 42-20 led by Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota. All that with a new quarterback, Cardale Jones and a sophomore Ezeikel Elliot, who ran for 220, 230,and 246 in the three games.
You are misguided. Wisconsin and Ohio State U have always had a rough and tumble game. Neither has won by more than 7 points against the other the past 5 years. \It’s always a good game between the two.
OSU playing a QB that had knee surgery 6 days ago. If he was 100% it would not have been a game. OSU is the only team ranked in the top ten both offensively and defensively. Oh, and they didn’t need Mercer on the schedule in week 11 to do it.
