Ohio State's Ryan Day and Indiana's Curt Cignetti will lead their respective teams against each other in Saturday's Big Ten championship game that will crown the conference winner and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff.

Early in the fourth quarter, Ohio State did, in fact, lose headset communication, and quarterback Julian Sayin had to meet with Day on the sideline to get the next play. The communication was eventually reestablished.

If you call it “war” like Day did last season, there’s an obvious be-all, end-all connotation to your players. One slip on one flank by one player, and the most dangerous run game in college football has all of 77 yards on 26 carries.

The next class of potential college football stars will make their commitments official during the December signing period.
