Dec. 6, 2014

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Cardale Jones threw for 257 yards and three touchdowns, Ezekiel Elliott ran for a career-high 220 yards and two scores and No. 6 Ohio State made an emphatic statement with a 59-0 rout over No. 11 Wisconsin in Saturday's Big Ten championship game.

Now the Buckeyes (12-1, 8-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP) must wait to see if they've done enough to earn one of the four spots in this year's inaugural playoff.

 Fast Facts
• Melvin Gordon finishes with 76 yards on 26 carries.
• Joel Stave throws 43 passes, but completes just 17 for 187 yards.
• Badgers held to just 71 yards rushing.

Ohio State has won 11 straight, this time with Jones, who started the season No. 3 on the quarterback depth chart. Jones finished 12 of 17 and led the Buckeyes to scores on five of their first six possessions, building a 38-0 halftime lead.

Melvin Gordon ran for 76 yards as the Badgers (10-3, 7-1, No. 13) had a seven-game winning streak snapped. It was Wisconsin's worst loss since 1979 and its first shutout since 1997.
