Ohio State is ready for The Game, and this rivalry needs no introduction. Every season ultimately hinges on success against Michigan, and that makes the recent trend even tougher to stomach.

No one needs reminding of the losses, including a 2022 defeat inside Ohio Stadium when the Buckeyes were the favorite. This time around, Ryan Day and his team will get the chance as a home favorite once again, though Ohio State is a massive 19.5-point favorite per bet365.

On Thursday, Ohio State dropped its hype video for the rivalry, and it’s brilliantly nostalgic. It’s also the perfect thing to set the tone as fans everywhere enjoy and come off the Thanksgiving holiday.

Early in the week, Day left no secret to how losing The Game has impacted his everyday life. He described the 3-game losing streak to Michigan as one of the worst things to happen in his life, listing only the loss of his father ahead of the losses for the negative impact on his family.

The good news is Ohio State returns a veteran-laden roster that is hungry for their first set of gold pants before they leave Columbus. Motivation is not in short supply for the Buckeyes, and fans are also waiting with anticipation for the win against Michigan.

Saturday’s kickoff in The Game is set for 12 pm ET on FOX.
