Ohio State knows this weekend’s venue well. The Buckeyes' last trip to AT&T Stadium three years ago ended with confetti covering the field and a national championship trophy in their locker room.
Each of this year’s players can picture the scene. Even those who weren’t on the roster in 2014 see it every day. The halls of the team’s practice facility in Columbus are plastered with images of past championship teams and reminders of major accomplishments in Buckeyes history.
There’s a wall not far from the locker room dedicated to the 2014 team with mural-sized photos of their trip to AT&T Stadium and the hardware they picked up there.
