COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – If a championship season is determined by a play here and there, then Urban Meyer wants his fourth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes to know what’s riding on Saturday night’s Big Ten opener.
The Buckeyes host No. 23 Wisconsin (8:00 p.m./ABC6).
The teams have a history of playing tight games that teeter on one dramatic moment.
Two years ago, the Buckeyes’ Braxton Miller avoided a rush and hurled a 40-yard touchdown pass with 20 seconds left to win it.
Last year the Badgers’ Curt Phillips flipped a 5-yard TD pass to Jacob Pedersen to force overtime, where Ohio State won 21-14.
