The 17-16 win by Ohio State over Michigan State had every Buckeye fan nervous to the end. I’m sure Urban Meyer and his players had some anxious moments as well. However, the victory over the Spartans could be the best prep for ‘The Game’ the Buckeyes could have had.
First, the intensity Michigan State brings when they face Ohio State always makes for a very physical game. On Saturday, the Buckeyes will play in their most intense and physical game all season.
Second, they will play a team that plays a pro-style offense and Michigan will emphasize the running game like Michigan State.
