Troy Smith will have Ohio State fans ready to run through a brick wall with his narration in the hype video ahead of The Game.

Smith, who played at Ohio State from 2002 to 2006, got fans excited for another huge matchup between Ohio State and Michigan, talking about the legacy that players leave with each edition of The Game.

“How do you want to be remembered in a world where passion and hatred run deep through the spirit of rivalry?” Smith said. “Football isn’t just a game, and this most certainly is not just another game.”

Every year, The Game is an intense battle fueled by years and years of hatred for the opposing team. Smith described the matchup in detail.

“Collisions of will, toughness and chaos will only elevate the undeniable test to become legend,” Smith said. “But in the chaos, there is a bond that transcends the hatred. A brotherhood forged over decades of sacrifice, hostility and one type of love — tough love.”

Michigan has won the last two, but Ohio State is looking for a big win this season to secure a spot in the Big Ten championship game and potentially a spot in the CFP.

But no matter what the stakes are, The Game just means more to these fan bases.

“You may see this as just a rivalry, but no, oh no,” Smith said. “This is a way of life.”
