Ohio State players continue to talk ahead of CFP game against Miami

Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald did not try to sugarcoat what he thinks is coming in Miami's College Football Playoff quarterfinal.

"Miami, they're a good team, ACC. But you know, it's all about us. I feel like the preparation I put in, I feel like I won't be blocked. Whatever they got for us, we coming."
