Ohio State opened as an 18-point favorite over Wisconsin. Two lines have it now at 17 and 15.5 points.

 

Ryan Day, who was an NFL assistant coach before he came to Ohio State, compared playing in a rematch against Wisconsin this week to playing a divisional opponent for the second time in an NFL season. Said the Buckeyes will still watch the same amount of film as they always would.

 

Day on having to get ready after such an emotional game: "To say it's not a challenge would not be accurate."

 

Paul Chryst on the Big Ten Championship Game coaches' teleconference now. Said this week's game is a “huge challenge, but a great opportunity” and Ohio State is “a really, really good football team.”

 

Ryan Day on potentially winning the Big Ten title: “That's been our goal from the get-go, and to do that in our first year together as a staff, would be incredible.” He said it would be a “huge deal” to win the conference championship and finish the year 13-0.

Day on his offensive line: “I think those three inside guys are the best in the country.”

 

Day said he doesn't think the Buckeyes will “be lacking any inspiration” for this week's game with a chance to win a Big Ten title and lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff.

 

Day said he believes both teams are different now than they were when they played in October and expects Wisconsin to bring some different wrinkles to the table this week.

 

Buckeyes expects tougher game in Big Ten title rematch against Badgers.
