Games are often won and lost inside the red zone, and in that area of the field, the numbers favor Wisconsin in its matchup with No. 9 Ohio State on Saturday afternoon in Columbus (ABC, 3:30 p.m. ET).

Wisconsin, Ohio State in the Red Zone   UW Off. OSU Def. TD Pct. 90.0 85.7 NCAA Rank 1 119

From ESPN Stats & Information:

Wisconsin has the best red zone offense in the country (100 percent scoring, 20-for-20), while the Buckeyes have struggled on red zone defense (100 percent scoring allowed). The challenge for Wisconsin will be getting into the red zone. While Ohio State can't keep opponents from scoring touchdowns from inside the red zone, the Buckeyes don't allow many drives to get there. In five games, Ohio State opponents have had only seven drives reach the red zone, tied for third fewest per game in the nation.
