3 biggest games for the Ohio State Football team in 2021
By Alex Austin
There will never be a bigger game than The Game. Ohio State has known this for years, which is a big reason why they have not lost in years. It seems that Michigan is just coming around to that way of thinking with the hopes that it brings different results. For Michigan, the basketball school, putting more emphasis on this football game could at least make it interesting.
Ryan Day has done whatever he wanted leading Ohio State’s offense against The Team Up North. The last two times these teams played the Buckeye’s were on the right side of historic blowouts and last year the teams were, unfortunately, not able to play due to COVID regulations. This year seems like it will be another strong year for Ohio State.
According to ESPN FPI predictions, Michigan should enter The Game at 8-3 with Ohio State sitting at a perfect 11-0. No matter what else is at stake we know the Buckeyes will be ready for this game, but with the chance for a perfect season and a top-ranked spot likely up for grabs this could be another blowout.
The Buckeyes will want to beat Michigan after what Harbaugh said before last season started. They also know that TTUN chickened out and canceled the game last season. There will be no shortage of motivation for them in this game.
No matter what The Game looks like before the season though, it will always be the biggest game of the fall.
