Tom Brady narrates epic Michigan-Ohio State hype video
There’s a lot of hype around Michigan and Ohio State this season and Tom Brady might have college football fans ready to run through a brick wall.
The future Pro Football Hall of Famer is a Michigan man, so naturally, he’s rooting for the Wolverines. But there’s no doubt he captured the history of the rivalry and why it means so much for both schools.
Watch below to see Brady’s epic narration of the hype video for Michigan-Ohio State.
Michigan-Ohio State will miss Jim Harbaugh on sidelines
The biggest news coming out of Ann Arbor Saturday is Jim Harbaugh not coaching once again. The Wolverines head coach has to serve the final game of his suspension for Michigan’s sign-stealing scandal.
Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer weighed in on that factor and gave a pretty telling opinion.
“For Coach Harbaugh to not coach in this game, I almost start sweating thinking about that,” Meyer said on Urban’s Take with Tim May. “‘What do you mean you’re not coaching in The Game?’ He’s a former player, great player there. Beat the Buckeyes two years in a row.
“All of this one the line and you’re not coaching in this game? And you’re not fighting it? So, there is stuff there … It got real serious when they said ‘We’re not going to fight this.’”
Harbaugh was suspended just hours before Michigan went on the road and played Penn State. Originally, the plan was to fight the decision from the Big Ten, attempting to have him back for the Maryland and Ohio State games.
However, Michigan decided to accept the suspension and will be without Harbaugh. The players have worn shirts saying ‘Free Harbaugh’ and will clearly be thinking of their head coach leading up to kickoff in Ann Arbor. Harbaugh will have to be watching from elsewhere, though.
On the field, Michigan and Ohio State have a battle of former top recruits who are quite familiar with each other: JJ McCarthy and Kyle McCord. Not only can both offenses really get it going, these are two of the best defenses in the country.
As Brady used to say: “let’s go!”
There is a ton on the line when the toe meets the leather in Ann Arbor. Michigan or Ohio State will earn a berth in the Big Ten Championship Game and have the inside track to the College Football Playoff.
Kickoff between Michigan and Ohio State is set for 12:00 p.m. ET.
