It is College Football Playoff time, and those wanting to see the Ohio State live may have to pay a pretty penny to be at the stadium.
While it might not seem like many fans would come up from Tennessee, especially considering it is about a six-hour drive, there seems to be a growing concern that the eagerness of the fans could bring a strong orange presence to the typically red Ohio Stadium.
Tennessee coach Josh Heupel was asked if he was shocked that Volunteer fans are excited to buy tickets to support their team in Columbus. Let’s just say that the answer was pretty obvious.
