For Ohio State left tackle Taylor Decker, there’s only one thing that can help aid the disappointment that came with Saturday’s 17-14 loss at the hands of Michigan State.
“Nothing would make me feel better than winning my fourth pair of gold pants,” the Buckeyes’ senior captain said Monday. “I think getting a win, and a big win at that, is the best way to bounce back and kind of show what this program is about.”
The gold pants Decker was referring to are, of course, the charm Ohio State players receive for beating arch-rival Michigan. As a fourth-year senior, Decker has three pairs already to represent his perfect 3-0 record against the Wolverines.
