Marvin Harrison Jr. expects nothing less than to be the underdog against Georgia. He discussed what that’s like at Tuesday’s presser.

Harrison has always liked playing the villain in these types of games. The fact that matchup with the Bulldogs is in Atlanta fuels Harrison even more.

“I think we always thought it was ‘Ohio Against the World’ for this game,” said Harrison. “I’m glad we play them in Atlanta, kind of in their home arena. I’ve always liked being the villain or the underdog in these big games, so I’m excited to do that.”
