In a piece penned to The Players Tribune, Chris “Beanie” Wells talked about the magnitude of The Game, as well as creating a legacy against the Buckeyes most bitter of rivals.
Wells reminisces on a moving speech by OSU quarterback Troy Smith in 2006 that propelled Wells to bust out a huge run against UM for a touchdown in the highly anticipated ‘Game of the Century’ when both schools were ranked as No. 1 and No. 2. From there, Wells breaks down going to The Big House the following year, the coincidences of the toilets and electricity not working in the visitors locker room and then rushing for two touchdowns in a 14-3 win in 2007.
