Following their impressive victory over No. 7 Penn State, the third-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes are preparing to hit the road and face the Wisconsin Badgers. In their first visit to Wisconsin since 2016, the Buckeyes are hoping to continue their winning streak against the Badgers on Saturday. The game will be broadcast live on NBC from Camp Randall Stadium in Madison at 7:30 p.m. Eastern/6:30 p.m. Central.

The Buckeyes extended their undefeated record to 7-0 overall and 4-0 in Big Ten play with their win over Penn State. They are currently leading the Big Ten Eastern Division race alongside No. 2 Michigan, who have a perfect record but are idle this weekend.

On the other hand, the Badgers bounced back from a home loss to Iowa and improved their record to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten play with a hard-fought 26-22 victory over Illinois last Saturday. Wisconsin now sits alone atop the Big Ten West and has control over their destiny to reach the Big Ten championship game.

This game holds significance for Wisconsin as well, as it marks coach Luke Fickell's first season coaching the Badgers. With previous head coach Paul Chryst being fired last October, Fickell, a former Ohio State player and coach, took over the reins. Fickell, a Columbus native, played for Ohio State from 1992-1996 and later became an assistant and defensive coordinator for the team.

The Buckeyes have a dominant record against Wisconsin, winning nine consecutive games, including victories in the Big Ten championship games in 2014, 2017, and 2019. However, Wisconsin managed to defeat then-No. 1 ranked Ohio State back in 2010, marking their last win in the series.

The Ohio State-Wisconsin rivalry dates back to 1913, with Ohio State leading the all-time series 62-18-5. The Buckeyes' last two visits to Camp Randall Stadium resulted in overtime wins, highlighting the tough battles these teams have had in recent years.

Ohio State's offensive firepower has been led by wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who recorded his fifth 100-yard receiving game of the season against Penn State. Quarterback Kyle McCord has also been impressive, ranking second in the Big Ten in QB efficiency.

Wisconsin's defense, led by safety Hunter Wohler and linebacker Maema Njongmeta, has been solid throughout the season, ranking 20th nationally in scoring defense. However, their offense suffered a setback with quarterback Tanner Mordecai's injury. Redshirt freshman Braedyn Locke will be under center for the Badgers, facing a formidable Ohio State defense that has recorded nine sacks in the last three games.

The Buckeyes enter this game as favorites, but playing at Camp Randall Stadium is always a challenging task for any visiting team. Ohio State is hoping to build off their big win over Penn State and carry the momentum into this crucial matchup.

The weather in Madison is expected to be mostly cloudy, with temperatures reaching a high of 45 degrees and a low of 35 degrees. There is a slight 15 percent chance of rain.

Fans can tune in to NBC to catch all the action as Ohio State battles Wisconsin in what promises to be an intense showdown on the gridiron.
