Instant Analysis: Ohio State Handles Business Against Wisconsin and Leaves Madison with Victory
The Ohio State Buckeyes got out of the gates FAST, scoring 17 points in the first quarter to take a commanding early lead. They really let their foot off the...
Isn't this Ohio State defense absolutely insane? The Buckeyes have game-changing players at every level of the defense, starting from the interior and extending to their cornerbacks. Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese set the tone, Caleb Downs is the coach on the field, Davison Igbinosun is the lockdown corner, and big-play guys litter the field.
They have yet to give up a first-half touchdown on the season, and they have only given up double-digit points once. They continue to terrorize opposing offenses and are so fun to watch. It is hard to imagine any team in America finding consistent success against them.
Julian Sayin was special on Saturday against Wisconsin. He finished the day 36 of 42 for 394 yards and four touchdowns. He and Buckeye receivers made several spectacular plays for touchdowns, a sight to behold.
Saturday was a turning point for the Ohio State offense. For the first time this season, the Buckeyes gave the keys to Sayin to see what he could do with it, and he excelled.
He never put the football in harm's way and made the right decisions. On Saturday, he even took a couple of calculated risks and showed that he could be the reason the Buckeyes won.
Who is playing better quarterback than Sayin? No one else comes to mind.
Ohio State senior wide receiver Carnell Tate is making the most out of his opportunities this season. Saturday was the perfect example of him being a leader and a superstar mixed into one.
On the first drive of the game, Tate got his chance on 3rd and 11 and made one of the best catches you will see all season.
From there, he continued to catch five more balls for 78 yards and one more touchdown. He will continue to live in the shadow of Jeremiah Smith, but make no mistake -- Tate is a superstar.
