Michigan player has one depressing word when asked about Ohio State
The college football world moves fast and the rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan is proof of that. It wasn’t too long ago that former Buckeye head coach Jim Tressel went 9-1 against The Team Up North and Urban Meyer followed that up with a 7-0 record, but that is a distant memory. Ohio State has lost three in a row, with two being blowouts. Current Michigan defensive back, Makari Paige, has let us know how much the momentum has changed and how comfortable they are up North with two simple words “A win”. During Big Ten media days, Paige was asked what the first thing that comes to mind when he hears Ohio State and he said “A dub. A win.” That should depress every Ohio State fan because he is right. It is looking good for Ohio State this season though as Michigan looks to be in more of a rebuild mode. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “Ohio State,” Makari Paige? “A dub. A win.” pic.twitter.com/1japjKgvUp — Brandon Marcello (@bmarcello) July 25, 2024 Contact/Follow us @BuckeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Ohio State news, notes and opinion.
