Wake up, Buckeye Nation, it’s game day!
Ohio State is ready to take on Purdue, and the latest game trailer sets the tone. With Buckeye leaders like Seth McLaughlin, JT Tuimoloau, and Will Howard fired up, there’s no mistaking the intensity they’re bringing to the field. “We have to remind them what we do. We have to remind them that The Brotherhood is strong, man. The love is strong,” Tuimoloau says in the trailer, while Howard adds, “Tonight, we show them what the Buckeyes are about, man. All that work we put in, bro. I’m ready to let it rip!”
Ohio State, fresh off a big win against Penn State, faces Purdue at noon as a 38-point favorite. With a struggling Boilermaker squad (1-7 overall, 0-5 in the Big Ten), head coach Ryan Day has focused on keeping the team motivated, making sure they put last week’s success behind them and march forward.
Purdue may have hoped for challenging weather to give them an edge, but game day is shaping up to be perfect football weather: a sunny 55 degrees at kickoff with minimal wind, ideal for the Buckeyes’ high-powered offense to perform at its best. Next week could be different when Ohio State travels to Wrigley Field to face Northwestern in what could be colder conditions, so they’ll take full advantage of today’s mild forecast.
It’s time, Buckeye Nation! Get ready to watch the scarlet and gray remind everyone what Ohio State football is all about.
