The countdown for the Ohio State and Michigan game is on. But before the Buckeyes get their chance of snapping a four-game losing streak to the Wolverines, Ohio State will face 5-5 Rutgers in its final regular season home game. Head coach Ryan Day is focused on not overlooking the Scarlet Knights on Senior Day […]
The narrative going into this year’s installment of The Game is a familiar and simple one. Ryan Day needs to prove that he can beat Michigan. It comes up on almost every radio segment in Columbus, every pregame show and every conversation among frustrated fans. Losing four straight will do that, and last year’s 13-10 […]
