Josh On Ohio State
“That was the pivot cuz things were about to take a radically different tone.”
“Texas legitimately just completed one of the most improbable comebacks I've ever seen.”
“I give all the credit in the world to Ohio State and Michigan because they have maintained this.”
“That's why I think it's the best rivalry in college football because you could cut that stuff with a knife up there.”
