The Ohio State quarterback situation

Coming into this Ohio State vs. Wisconsin clash, starting QB Kyle McCord has been stellar. He has thus far logged great numbers: 1,937 yards (131-for-205, 63.9 completions %) and was instrumental in the Buckeyes' relatively close win over Penn State.

Against the Nittany Lions, McCord went 22-for-35 for 286 passing yards and one touchdown. The game was close until he threw a pass to Marvin Harrison Jr., resulting in a touchdown, which put Ohio State up 20-6 and sealed the win within the final four minutes.

But not to take anything away from OSU's offense, their defense will likely be the key to victory against Wisconsin (via Yahoo Sports).

The Wisconsin quarterback situation

Wisconsin suffered a blow when they lost starting QB Tanner Mordecai earlier this season. Head coach Luke Fickell was forced to find a replacement quickly and asked redshirt freshman Braedyn Locke to take the reins.

Locke is far from a star signal-caller, but he's doing alright. In the Badgers' bounce-back victory over Illinois, he went 21-for-41 for a total of 240 passing yards and a couple of touchdowns. Those two TDs were critical to Wisconsin's late-game comeback against the Fighting Illini, which led 21-10 at the start of the fourth quarter.

If the game remains close within the final minutes, expect Locke to rise to the occasion if his most recent performance is any indication.
