As Friday rolled around on the calendar, it marked 10 years exactly since Michigan has last beaten Ohio State. The Buckeyes will try to increase their winning streak to nine games against their archrival on Saturday at noon.
Of course, Ohio State fully embraces this rivalry, and that starts on the recruiting trail, where Ryan Day stresses the importance of beating Michigan so prospective players know what they’re walking into.
"We talk about it during recruiting and all of our guys understand it, our No. 1 goal is beating that team up north," Day told reporters this week.
