The Ohio State defense pitched their second shutout of the season and quarterback Julian Sayin threw for 393 yards and four touchdowns in the No. 1 Buckeyes’ 34-0 victory at Wisconsin Saturday.

It was the 7th win of the season for the undefeated Buckeyes, the 11th straight for Ryan Day’s team, which is the longest streak in the nation.

Ohio State dominated in every statistical category Saturday with the offense recording 491 total yards, while the defense held the Badgers to just 144 yards.

Sayin finished the day 36-42 for a completion percentage of .857. He hit Carnell Tate for two touchdowns. Tate had six catches in all for 111 yards, while Jeremiah Smith pulled in nine passes for 97 yards. Brandon Inniss and Will Kacmarek also had receiving scores.

Freshman Isaiah Tate led Buckeye rushers with 55 yards on nine carries. Bo Jackson added 26 yards and C.J. Donaldson Jr. ran for 12.

The Buckeye defense had another stellar outing. They forced Wisconsin to punt on seven of their nine drives. The other two drives were stopped with an interception and a failed fourth-down conversion. 

Safety Caleb Downs recorded six solo tackles to pace Ohio State. Linebacker Arvell Reese had four tackles, including a sack and two tackles for loss. Reese leads Ohio State with 42 tackles on the season. In the first quarter, Pickerington Central alum Sonny Styles picked off his first pass of the campaign.

The Buckeyes will have the week off before returning to Ohio Stadium to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, Nov. 1. The Nittany Lions also have the week off leading up to the contest. After firing its head coach, James Franklin, this past week, Penn State fell at Iowa, 25-24, Saturday.
