After taking down Rutgers in a 42-9 blowout win, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day made it clear he and the team are ready for next weekend’s rivalry game against Michigan.
“They’re always in the back of our mind in terms of what we’re working toward, we know this is the last game of the year and what it means to everybody here,” Day said. “It was a good look in everyone’s eye in the locker room. We just need to focus on what really matters.”
The Wolverines enter The Game with plenty of momentum of their own, winning five straight games including Saturday’s 45-20 rout of Maryland.

While Michigan improved to 9-2 on the season, the Wolverines received some brutal news after the game when fullback and captain Max Bredeson was spotted in a walking boot and on crutches. After the contest, head coach Sherrone Moore said the injury “doesn’t look great.”
“We’ll get confirmation when we get back home and get the x-rays,” Moore said. “But, we’ll see what it is. Doesn’t look great. We’re just praying for him.”
Bredeson is set to undergo further evaluation when the Wolverines get back to Ann Arbor tonight, but was reportedly flashing thumbs up to the crowd after being spotted on crutches. Michigan and Ohio State are slated for a 12 p.m. ET kickoff at the Big House on Nov. 29.
