TV: Noon ET, FOX. LINE: Ohio State -14

ABOUT WISCONSIN (6-1, 3-1 Big Ten): Taylor paces the country in scoring (16.3 points per game) and shares the national lead with 15 rushing touchdowns, but it will be difficult for him to carry the load against Ohio State without some help from the passing game. Quarterback Jack Coan ranks second nationally in completion percentage (76.0) and has been intercepted only twice, but one of those came last week with 2:32 left and set up Illinois' winning field goal. Wisconsin's defense had been nearly invincible before last week, posting four shutouts in its first six games.

ABOUT OHIO STATE (7-0, 4-0): In Fields' first season with the Buckeyes, he already has thrown 22 touchdown passes and rushed for eight, making him responsible for 25.7 points per game (No. 2 in FBS). With Fields' dual-threat ability and Dobbins' proficiency as a runner, the Ohio State offense is averaging 526.7 yards per game, including 287.1 yards on the ground, and 49.7 points per game while getting off the fast starts. On defense, the Buckeyes have made a habit of dominating at the line of scrimmage and getting in the opponents' backfield with 66 tackles for loss - the highest total in the nation.
