Always a tricky place to play, Camp Randall Stadium on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison was the venue for week eight. Sophomore place kicker Mike Nugent got a kick out of converting his 16th consecutive field goal attempt, a new Ohio State record.

Trailing 14 to 13 in the fourth quarter, though, the Buckeyes had 88 yards to go for the winning score. Facing third and six from their own 16, Krenzel threaded the needle between two Badger defenders to junior wide receiver Michael Jenkins for a huge 45-yard gain. That was the catalyst for Krenzel's short touchdown toss to junior tight end Ben Hartsock and a 19-14 Buckeye lead.

For the second time in five weeks, Gamble intercepted a pass in his own end zone to thwart an opponent's drive. The five-point lead proved to be the winning margin, and OSU had its third straight win in Madison.
