Yet, that&#8217;s not quite what transpired. The Buckeyes trailed 17-10 mid-third quarter and you could sense that the momentum had changed after halftime. The Badgers had 3 scoring opportunities and the Buckeyes had some adversity. The last 1.5 quarters, the Buckeyes asserted their will on both sides of the ball and surged to a 21 point win. <a href=\"https:\/\/montaraventures.com\/blog\/2007\/10\/30\/ohio-statewisconsin-preview\/\">I predicted a 31-13 win, so it wasn&#8217;t so far off from reality&#8230;.<\/a><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h2>The Good<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>10 sacks. 2 forced fumbles. The defensive line played well.<\/li>\n<li>13 net yards rushing. Wisconsin came into the contest averaging 205 yards per game.<\/li>\n<li>169 yards and 3 touchdowns for Beanie Wells.<\/li>\n<li>The win. When momentum changed and the team trailed in the third quarter, you could see the determination and the results on the scoreboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Bad<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Penalties. 7 for 80 yards.<\/li>\n<li>269 yards passing and 2 touchdowns. Donovan is a competitor.<\/li>\n<li>Missed tackles led to 4 big plays and 200 yards of offense.<\/li>\n<li>Blocked field goal. Third one of the season.<\/li>\n<li>Flat play by the offense in the first 3 quarters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Ugly<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Officiating. The defense would have had 20 sacks if they weren&#8217;t tackled so frequently by Wisconsin offensive line. The line didn&#8217;t suddenly get &#8220;great&#8221; after halftime, they just started tackling the Buckeye defensive line leading to 14 points.<\/li>\n<li>Bose commercials. The volume increases at least 50% over the base sound level of the broadcast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nA very solid win that demonstrated what might be the heart of a champion. Glad to see the team overcome some adversity and win convincingly.
