Ohio State Football: Buckeyes already focused on TTUN

We’ve all heard the stories of how the Ohio State football team prepares. They prepare year-round for The Game against TTUN. Every single week of the season, they have some sort of game plan that they work on for that game. This year, that will be ratcheted up a notch.

That’s because the Buckeyes lost to TTUN for the first time in a decade last year, ending their hopes of making the College Football Playoff. It was a painful loss for everyone involved, including Ohio State football fans. No one wants to watch his team lose to them.

This year, the Buckeyes are already focused on TTUN. They want to win the rematch here in Columbus. They won’t be overlooking any other opponent before that game though. Ohio State knows that they have some quality opponents they face before TTUN comes to town.

But make no mistake, this team is ready for that matchup at the end of the season. The Buckeyes will be preparing even harder every week to make sure that what happened last November won’t happen again. That win helped put the juice back into the rivalry.

Ryan Day and his staff will be making sure that they have periods of every practice where they implement something they’re going to use against TTUN. They do that anyway, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they increase that period in terms of the number of plays they practice.

Everyone around this program is committed to not letting what happened in November happen again. It’s up to the players to work on getting better every day to make sure that they won’t lose The Game at home.
