Every Saturday during the college football season, the spirit of competition and excitement take the field as the nation's top student-athletes battle for gridiron glory.

From the blue-blooded programs to the rising stars, college football will always be the people's game.

Regardless of the opponent, each game brings out the passion and excitement that Ohio State fans are so well known for.
