INDIANAPOLIS – When Josh Myers talked to the team before Saturday’s Big Ten Championship Game against Northwestern, the Ohio State center told his teammates to keep Chris Olave, Baron Browning and the other Buckeyes who couldn’t make the trip to Indianapolis in their hearts.
Because Myers knows how they must have felt being forced to watch the game from home.
Though Myers was back on the field with the Buckeyes on Saturday, he missed their previous game against Michigan State after testing positive for COVID-19. In his first interview session since his return to action on Saturday, in which he was the first Ohio State player who missed time due to COVID-19 this season to discuss that experience with the media, Myers opened up about just how hard that was for him.
