Seated alongside the trophy they'll be battling for on Friday, Ryan Day and Eliah Drinkwitz gave their final thoughts on Ohio State and Missouri's matchup in the Cotton Bowl on Thursday.
Day said that quarterback Devin Brown has prepared at a "high level" getting ready to make his first start in the Cotton Bowl but didn't have any updates on who will or won't play for the Buckeyes. Day also recalled to the media how Marvin Harrison Jr. has told him he wants to be the "best receiver to ever play the game."
Drinkwitz dove into the stories of Luther Burden III and Brady Cook as in-state stars who have been game-changers for the Tigers and said that the expanded playoff won't change the impact of regular-season games.
