The Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Wisconsin Badgers 38-7 on Saturday afternoon.

As I’ve talked about a ton, I’d been super excited for this game. This was supposed to be Wisconsin’s redemption game after our embarrassing loss to Illinois last week.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. Ohio State was better at every single position on the field. Justin Fields was every bit as good as advertised and then some. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

We simply didn’t have answers anywhere on the field. The Buckeyes torched the best defense in America. Literally, they lined up against the top defense in America and handled it down the stretch.

I honestly don’t know what to tell anybody who thinks OSU isn’t the best team in America. Chase Young is a freak of nature, Fields might be the best quarterback in America and the entire offense is loaded. The defense might honestly be better than Wisconsin’s. The Buckeyes are that good.

Outside of one pass off of a blocked punt, Wisconsin just couldn’t move the ball at all.

Where does Wisconsin go from here? I honestly have no idea. We took a licking today at the hands of the Buckeyes and it’s that simple.

Props to me for admitting it. No matter what happens going forward, we simply have to be better. Can we still make the B1G title game? I have no idea, but we simply have to play a better brand of football than we have these past two weeks. Absolutely terrible.

Herb Brooks is rolling over in his grave at this game, and I don’t blame him. We have to find a way to improve or we won’t beat a good team down the stretch, let alone a great team.

Am I embarrassed as a Wisconsin fan? No. OSU is the best team in America and we played tough for the first half. I’ll never be satisfied with a loss, but we simply played a better team today.

At some point, you have to look in the mirror and face reality. The fat lady is singing and all I have left to do is dance.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
