For this year’s Big Ten Preview Edition, we turned to the people who best know the teams Ohio State will face this year–student journalists covering them day in and day out.

We’re proud to have collaborated with these amazing reporters to bring together voices from across the Big Ten.

This project was a reminder that our football teams are competitors on the field, but we are all connected through the collegiate experience.

A heartfelt thank you goes to all the writers who contributed. Wishing everyone a safe and successful season.
