All six of the Michigan State and Ohio State players in attendance at Big Ten Media Days this afternoon were asked specifically about the rivalry with the Michigan Wolverines' football program, and none of them were afraid to share their true thoughts on the matchup.

Several of them talked about what the game means to them, while attempting to put the rivalry in their own words.
