Ohio State had just vanquished Michigan State in East Lansing. Normally, Urban Meyer's team would at least celebrate the victory for a couple of hours.
But this win was different. When that final whistle blew, it opened team up north week for Ohio State.
In the above video, J.T. Barrett, Pat Elflein, Gareon Conley, and Chris Worley discuss the meaning of the Rivalry, how they prepare for it (Worley: "It's impossible to simulate the intensity of this game"), and includes some behind-the-scenes footage of how the Woody Hayes Athletic Center looks during this historic week.
No. 3 Michigan at No. 2 Ohio State kicks off at noon on ABC.
