The Game takes place once every 365 days, but the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry never truly sleeps.
Days after Jeremiah Smith promised he wouldn't lose to Michigan again, 2026 cornerback Dorian Barney, a former Alabama pledge, committed to the Wolverines on Saturday and didn't mince his words when it came to The Game.
“I will not lose to Ohio State while I’m there,” Barney told On3's Chad Simmons.
Whether the timing was a coincidence or not, Barney kept it short and sweet when it came to his thoughts on The Game, even though he hasn't participated in it yet.
