Urban Meyer knows the importance of this week. He also knows the recent hard-hitting history of the Ohio State-Michigan State rivalry. “You still look at the standings, and Ohio State and Michigan State are 1-2 in the Big Ten East,” the OSU coach told reporters during his weekly news conference Monday in Columbus, Ohio. “And everybody knows this game for the last, what’s our sixth year of playing them or something, usually it’s just a prize fight. So the tougher team usually wins. And we’ve got to understand what we’re going to play against. Great respect for them, and they’re playing well.”
