There is a clock inside Ohio State's practice facility that counts down the days, hours and minutes until the annual clash with rival Michigan.
That clock will hit zero on Saturday, November 28, when the Buckeyes make the 184-mile trip north to Ann Arbor, Michigan. But until that day, Ohio State should be rooting for the hated Wolverines.
It's a concept that goes against the Buckeyes' nature, of course. Head coach Urban Meyer himself admitted that Ohio State wants to beat Michigan in every aspect of the game, from battles on the recruiting front to games on the field.
