Two days ahead of Ohio State football's final game of the 2022 season, the Buckeyes got some of their biggest voices to remember what "The Game" was like for them.

"Welcome to the biggest stage in all of college football," coach Jim Tressel opened Ohio State football's game trailer against Michigan.

Tressel, along with a slew of former players and coaches including Braxton Miller, Justin Fields, Brian Hartline, Chris Olave, J.T. Barrett, Denzel Ward, Ezekiel Elliott, Jordan Fuller, Parris Campbell and Zach Boren each remembered what it was like to face Michigan in their time with the Buckeyes.

Each of these players and coaches were combined with quotes from Ohio State coach Ryan Day calling for the Buckeyes to play the "most physical game you have played in your life" against the Wolverines.

"When you are either recruited or you step on campus, we prepare for this team we are playing next week," Day said. "We prepare 365 days, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

Ohio State has not lost to Michigan at home since 2000 and are coming into the 118th edition of "The Game" looking for its 10th-straight win against the Wolverines inside Ohio Stadium.

Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day leads his team onto the field prior to the NCAA football game against the Michigan State Spartans at Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Saturday, Nov. 20, 2021.
