Arguably, the best rivalry in college football will take center stage this weekend when the Michigan Wolverines host the Ohio State Buckeyes at the Big House.
Ahead of the contest, Ohio State head coach made it clear the Wolverines are always on the Buckeyes' minds following a 42-9 victory over Rutgers.
“They're always in the back of our mind in terms of what we’re working toward, we know this is the last game of the year and what it means to everybody here,” Day said. “It was a good look in everyone's eye in the locker room. We just need to focus on what really matters.”

Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore spoke a similar refrain before making a demand of his team's fans.
"This is the most important game of the year,” Moore said after the team's victory over Maryland. “It’s around our building. Everybody knows what this is about. We’ll put everything we got into this game.”
As the game looms, Moore needs fans to be at their best for Saturday afternoon's showdown.
"Be the loudest, most ravenous, craziest, energetic environment that we've had in Michigan Stadium ever. That's what we want it to be. The loudest place it's ever been. I don't know what the decibels have been or what they could be, but we need them to reach peak on Saturday," Moore said to reporters on Monday.
A win over Ohio State on Saturday would make it five straight for the Wolverines and kick off the team's final push for a College Football Playoff spot. If Michigan defeats the Buckeyes and either Indiana or Oregon loses, Moore's team would be in the Big Ten title game.
