The best thing about being 8-0 …
You know the saying. It wasn’t as easy as it could have been, but Ohio State used its defense and an offense that featured Marvin Harrison Jr. and returning running back running back, TreVeyeon Henderson, to post a 24-10 win over Wisconsin in Madison.
With the victory, the Buckeyes stay unbeaten and seem to be on a collision course for the second straight season with the Michigan Wolverines, who are also unbeaten and in line for a potential College Football Playoff appearance.
Buckeye Nation was a little nervous as this one played out, and as Ohio State finally gained a little breathing room at the end of the game. But it was in a celebratory mood after all the brats and cheese settled.
Here are some of the best social media reactions before, during and after the Buckeyes’ win over the Badgers on Saturday night.

Well, yes -- we have to agree.
"I think he's the best player in the country."

Batman and Robin
TreVeyon Henderson and Marvin Harrison Jr. combined for 330 of Ohio State’s 407 yards of offense tonight.

Say it loud for those in the back
I've been guilty of this myself, but Ohio State fans have been spoiled by the quarterback position in recent years and unfairly expect greatness out of a first-year starter.

They say improvement every year tells a story
Points allowed by Ohio State's defense through 8 games the last 3 seasons.

We're glad he came back for this one
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said running back TreVeyon Henderson was close last week but they wanted to make sure he was 100% before the stretch run coming up.

Still probably need to see a little more from the offense
It may not look how you want it to look, but THIS Ohio State team can win a national championship THIS season. This defense is ELITE and the offense has enough playmakers.

Looks like everyone should be around for the stretch run
On Emeka Egbuka: “I do feel really confident we’ll get him back next week.” Day said Egbuka was close to playing tonight, but Ohio State decided to hold him out one more week.

This is standard protocol
Ohio State has beaten 3 of the 4 teams that people said Ohio St was going to lose to this year.
@ ND
Penn State
@ WisconsinThat sound you hear Ohio St fans is the haters moving the goal post, and either saying those teams suck or no one thought Ohio State would lose 4 games. pic.twitter.com/S49zi97leP

As they say ... "you don't know what you got until it's gone"
A healthy TreVeyon Henderson gives Ohio State an entirely different feel. Not sure I really appreciated that enough early in the year.

Talk about your unreal stats
Ohio State opponents are 2-22 on third downs after the last 6 quarters.
— Tony Gerdeman (@TonyGerdeman) October 29, 2023
I mean, this rings pretty true
Ohio State games really are an experience.
Buckeye fans in the 1st half: I hate Kyle McCord & want Ryan Day fired to the moon.
Buckeye fans in the 4th quarter: Ok. Good win.
End of game & the entire week that follows: WE ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE. DONT YOU DARE QUESTION US!!!!
