The Ohio State Buckeyes had a close call Saturday night in Madison, pulling out an overtime victory against the Wisconsin Badgers. As a result, the Buckeyes remain ranked No. 2 in this week’s AP and Coaches Polls.
It’s never easy to go on the road against a top 10 team and get a win, but the Buckeyes did it. The win was far from pretty, but there’s no questioning the Bucks finished out the game strong, especially J.T. Barrett.
Barrett passed Braxton Miller for the most career touchdowns accounted for in Ohio State history with his 89th in overtime, with a beautiful pass to Noah Brown.
