COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State Buckeyes will be on the road again this weekend to Wisconsin to take on the Badgers.
Head coach Ryan Day is holding a press briefing on Tuesday, discussing the team's performance against Penn State last weekend and their approach heading into Saturday's match against the Wisconsin Badgers.
Watch Ryan Day's weekly press conference:
*Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles will answer questions following Coach Day.
On Saturday, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. made the difference for the No. 3 ranked team in a pivotal Big Ten matchup against No. 7 Penn State. Harrison made 11 catches for 162 yards and a late touchdown as Ohio State beat Penn State 20-12.
Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell wants to keep the focus off himself as the former Ohio State nose guard and interim head coach leads the Badgers against his alma mater.
Fickell started 50 straight games for Ohio State from 1994-96. He spent the 1999 season there as a graduate assistant and was an assistant for the Buckeyes from 2002-16, making him a part of two national championship teams.
The Buckeyes have won their last nine meetings with Wisconsin, including a 52-21 blowout last season. Wisconsin’s last victory came in 2010, when the 18th-ranked Badgers beat a top-ranked Ohio State team 31-18 in Madison.
Wisconsin comes into this game with some momentum after erasing a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit Saturday in a 25-21 victory at Illinois. That marked the first time since 2018 that the Badgers had won a Big Ten game after trailing by at least 14 points.
The match against the Badgers kicks off at 7:30 p.m.
