COLUMBUS, OHIO -- The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes outscored No. 13 Wisconsin by three touchdowns in the second half en route to a 38-7 win Saturday in Columbus.

The Badgers were out-gained in total yardage, 431-191, and the Buckeyes converted in key third-down situations to continue drives. UW's stout defense started off on the right foot but ultimately collapsed under the pressure of star quarterback Justin Fields and elite running back J.K. Dobbins.

BadgerBlitz.com's "Stat Pack" series takes a statistical look at how Ohio State was able to dominate the Badgers on both sides of the football.

The theme with Ohio State's second half drives was quick-hitting plays that caught the Badgers off guard. Three of the four consecutive touchdown drives from the third quarter into the fourth took up less than 2:34 of game time. The starting field position certainly played a factor as well, as OSU started from its own 47-, 45- and Wisconsin's 45-yard line.

In three of Ohio State's second-half series, a play went for 20 or more yards by Dobbins. The junior back made big plays all afternoon, busting out runs of 28 and 34 yards and a 21-yard reception.

Speaking of Dobbins, two of the biggest stars on the field came at the running back position: the Ohio State product and Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor. The difference in their performances was striking, however.

Given the same amount of carries, 20, Taylor scampered for a total of 52 yards, while Dobbins powered his way to 163 yards on the ground and 221 total yards on the day. It was Dobbins, not Taylor, who was the danger in the passing game, as he caught three of his four targets for 58 yards. Taylor was only able to haul in a single pass for five yards.

The best player on the field Saturday was not on the offensive side of the football, as defensive end Chase Young went off for the Buckeyes. The junior tied a program record with four sacks as well as two forced fumbles. The Maryland native recorded his fifth multi-sack game of the year and his first since a win over Miami (OH) back on Sept. 21.

Young was special on Saturday, and NFL front offices sure took notice.

The history wasn't kind to the Badgers coming into Saturday, and it won't look any better after the blowout win for the Buckeyes. Ohio State picked up their 60th win over UW and improved its record to 60-18-5 over Wisconsin. OSU also improved its current win streak to seven over the Badgers, which stretches over eight seasons. That includes a pair of Big Ten Championship games.

Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst fell to 0-3 all-time against the Buckeyes.
