There is no denying the fact that Rutgers football faces a tough, uphill battle today when they take on No. 3 Ohio State. This is a Buckeyes team that is a favorite not just to win the Big Ten, but also could become the first non-SEC team to win the national championship since Warren G. Harding was President.
Few cover college football let alone Ohio State football like Phil Harrison, a veritable encyclopedia of all things to come out of Columbus and a wealth of knowledge about the Big Ten.
In our conversation this week, Harrison talks about expectations around this Buckeyes football program. He also gives a sense of what the Ohio State fanbase thinks about the inclusion of Rutgers in the Big Ten.
Make sure to regularly check in with Buckeyes Wire not just on gameday but throughout the season for tons of good information on Ohio State and around the Big Ten. For instance, Ohio State is going to be without a star player this Saturday against Rutgers.
And make sure to give Phil Harrison a follow on Twitter as well.
