...zone and start play on their own 20-yd. line with a blustery wind blowing into their faces. The University of Wisconsin defense is bunched close to the line of scrimmage, anticipating the three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust plunge that has been an Ohio State trademark for decades. But on the first play the Buckeyes go for the bomb. Though it fails, Wisconsin is caught off balance, never to recover, and Ohio State wins, 59-0.
