Wiscy's offense is just as good as Ohio State's, but they don't have as much speed on the edges nor do they have the mobile QB who puts so much pressure on the front 7. Miller killed us today. Stave won't convert third downs will his legs like Miller did. On the other side of things, Melvin Gordon is better than anyone on Ohio State's team, and I'd say Wisconsin's running game is slightly better than OSU.
Defensively, Wisconsin is probably a push in comparison to OSU.
I agree that we "should" beat NW. But there's been a lot of years we "should have" beaten NW. For whatever reason, their offense has been a philosophical mismatch with our defense. Will we make some changes to what other people have done to slow them down as of late? That remains to be seen.
Saying we should beat Wisconsin is nuts though. They're better than we are. They have equal or better oline. 5-times better RB. 1 WR who is way better than anyone we have. And their defense is just as good as ours. I'd say their offensive scheme overall is just better than ours too. We have Kinnick Stadium and that's about it. We won't be favored against the Badgers nor should we be.
