It’s almost time for all of the talking to end as the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes will take to the field in the Big House to face the No. 3 Ann Arbor Astros at 12:14 p.m. ET. At this point, I almost certainly don’t have to tell you what is at stake in this matchup today. Not only are there the obvious postseason implications, but in many ways this installment of The Game is a referendum on both programs.
If That Team Up North wins, at least in their eyes, it would vindicate them from all of the slings and arrows associated with their multi-year sign-stealing operation.
