No. 2 Ohio State (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) earned another Top-10 win on the road after handing No. 8 Wisconsin (4-2, 1-2 Big Ten) its second loss of the season with a 30-23 come-from-behind overtime victory over the Badgers.

The Buckeyes dominated Oklahoma last month in Norman for its other Top 10 win this season and the team has been rolling since.

Ohio State receiver Noah Brown caught the go-ahead, 7-yard touchdown pass from quarterback J.T. Barrett in extra time. Ohio State’s defense then answered the call as they held the Badgers out of the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line. Using just a four man rush, the Buckeyes still got to Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook who was sacked to end the game.

With arguably its toughest test of the season out of the way until a November showdown against No. 4 Michigan, the Buckeyes are in prime position for one of the four playoff spots in the College Football Playoff.

Barrett finished the day completing 17 of 29 passes for 226 yards and an interception. The junior also ran for 92 yards on 21 carries.

Wisconsin got its rushing game back on track as Corey Clement ran for 164 yards on 25 carries for the Badgers.

The Badgers jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead thanks to numerous big plays and went into the half with a 16-6 lead. The Buckeyes then answered with two touchdowns late in the third and early fourth quarters to take a lead it would never relinquish.

He’s a winner: Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is a proven winner which is why this crazy stat should come as no surprise. Meyer improved to 20-0 in true road games during his four-plus-seasons with the Buckeyes. Simply amazing!
