After Thanksgiving comes and goes, college football will take center stage. One of the big headline games in Week 14 is Ohio State vs. Michigan in Ann Arbor.
The Buckeyes are trying to reverse course this year after four consecutive losses to the Wolverines. Even off the field, coach Ryan Day is making key adjustments to give his team the best chance to win.
Day revealed to reporters Wednesday that the Buckeyes will fly from Columbus to Ann Arbor, rather than bus, to accommodate travel logistics and "keep a routine" as they have for each road game so far.
Day said it doesn't matter how the Buckeyes win, as long as everyone's job is executed.
“We got to do what it takes to win the game. Everyone’s got to do their job. Coaches and players. That’s the bottom line. What does that take? It takes a lot of things.” Day said. “At the end of the day, the No. 1 goal is to win the game.”
Day added that his last concern is the weather, citing it as a "distraction."
“That’s what you expect this time of year in Big Ten football. … This is a group of guys that have played in this type of weather before."
Nonetheless, it appears to be a business-like trip for a team desperate to finish the season on a high note before getting ready for the playoffs.
Kickoff is set for noon ET on Fox, part of a busy slate of college football to close out the regular season.
