We don’t know when, or even if, Big Ten football will begin play. Whether it gets off the ground in January or sometime later in the spring remains to be seen. At the very least, there’s still a glimmer of hope that we’ll see some college football before next fall — for now.
And that means The Game between Ohio State and Michigan is still going to be plugged somewhere on everyone’s calendar at some point hopefully. And yeah — we don’t have to tell you or any college football fan that the Buckeyes have dominated the series over the last fifteen years or so, winning the last eight, and fifteen of the last sixteen.
If you think that has gotten under the crawl of the Michigan faithful, you’d be right. In fact, it’s almost become a foregone conclusion that the Wolverines will get smoked whenever the two traditional powers stand toe-to-toe.
But don’t tell Michigan defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson that. He still wants another opportunity to get the Scarlet and Gray monkey off his and every other Wolverine’s back.
He appeared on the Marty Smith podcast last week and the topic of Ohio State came up (of course it did).
“One more. One more. I just want one more shot at them. You know, Ryan Day, Justin Fields — I saw their quotes on Twitter about not knocking the brakes off of us. You don’t know how much that riles me up and I’m just, I want to, I need to play them one more time. But, you know, it’s out of my hands whether I can or not. So, I’m just I’m hoping and praying that I got one more shot at them.”
Wanna know just how ticked off, annoyed, frustrated, disappointed, confused these Big Ten players are?
Listen to @UMichFootball DE Aiden Hutchinson.“I’m infuriated… our president voted (no) when I’ve never seen that guy in my 3 yrs at Michigan.”https://t.co/sqtzuThXau pic.twitter.com/UiBfKy3Axu

If you’re keeping score — and we know you are, Hutchinson is 0-2 against Ohio State so far in his career and it hasn’t been close. The Buckeyes have won the two meetings by a combined score of 118-66.
So yeah, beating the brakes off of them was accurate by Justin Fields. Look, there’s many Ohio State fans and players that hope there’s one more shot at Michigan too.
In other words, bring it on.
