Ohio State Buckeyes will handle the Wisconsin Badgers, 31-21, predicts Bill Livingston (SBTV)

PD columnist says the 18th-ranked Badgers aren't as good as voters think they are.

Associated PressThe Wisconsin Badgers and coach Bret Bielema, shown running out of the tunnel last Saturday against Minnesota, aren't as good as the poll ranking indicates, says PD columnist Bill Livingston.

Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, our Web video show about what's going on in Cleveland sports. Today's show is hosted by Chuck "Hopalong" Yarborough and Branson Wright.

Let's go to the highlights:

• Plain Dealer Ohio State beat writer Doug Lesmerises will have a story posted tomorrow about Big Ten stadiums that have statues outside them. For example, Illinois has a statue of Red Grange outside Memorial Stadium; and Wisconsin has statues of Barry Alvarez and former AD Pat Richter outside Camp Randall Stadium.

Ohio Stadium has no statues at this time, but if the school were going to add a former athlete or coach, which one should it be? Cast your vote in today's Starting Blocks poll.

Today's guest, Plain Dealer columnist Bill Livingston, says he would vote for two statues, legendary coach Woody Hayes and track great Jesse Owens, a Cleveland native.

Livy also says the Buckeyes will win, 31-21, against the Badgers on Saturday night.

SBTV will return Friday with PD Browns reporter Tony Grossi answering questions from his weekly Hey, Tony! feature.
