Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes will be hosting Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers in the biggest game in college football in Week 13.

Ohio State is ranked No. 2, while the Hoosiers are No. 5 and undefeated. When Cignetti first got the job at Indiana, he made an appearance at a Hoosiers basketball game where he said Ohio State sucks.

Day was asked about the comments made by Cignetti, but the Buckeyes coach isn’t worried about that at all.

“Everybody has to motivate their team, and certainly when feel like you have good players, it gives you confidence,” Day said. “I think he’s done a great job of instilling that, but ultimately this is always about us, our preparation.”

While the Hoosiers present quite a challenge for Day and the Buckeyes, he said it is key for the Buckeyes not to change how they do things.

“Every week we try to keep the same routine and focus on us,” Day said. “Now, you’ve got to know your opponent… but in order to be consistent, you’ve got to keep the same routine. That’s about our routine, that’s about our focus and what we need to do and all our core values that we believe in in terms of winning games. That will be the same this week.”

Kickoff between the 2 teams is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET and the game will be aired on FOX.
