No. 6 Buckeyes beat Wisconsin in OT, 21-14

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Saturday, November 17, 2012 - 6:23 p.m.

MADISON, Wis. — Carlos Hyde scored on a 2-yard run in overtime Saturday, giving No. 6 Ohio State a 21-14 victory over Wisconsin and keeping the Buckeyes' hopes of a perfect season alive.

The Buckeyes (11-0, 7-0) clinched the Leaders Division title outright with the win. But they are ineligible for the postseason as part of their punishment for NCAA violations under former coach Jim Tressel, and the best they can hope for is to end the year unbeaten and to maybe capture the AP Top 25 title.

Montee Ball scored his 78th touchdown, tying Travis Prentice's major-college record for career scores. But he fumbled on what would have been the record-breaker with 2:46 left in regulation.

The Badgers forced overtime anyway, on Jacob Pedersen's 5-yard catch, but Curt Phillips couldn't find him again in overtime.

Bob, the point of a sporting contest is to get more points than your opponent and win the game.

I completely agree WR; it's a risky move for BB (if they don't get it he's the goat) but these Badgers have shown they don't know how to play in OT. Of course if they had a placekicker it wouldn't have mattered. Play for the win, not the tie.

If they would have gone for a 2 point conversion they could have won that game with 8 seconds left in the fourth quarter
