Speaking with Dave Holmes on Friday night, Day emphasized the team’s mindset entering championship weekend.
“We want to finish off this thing the right way," Ryan Day said. “These guys know that this is on the list of things we want to get done this year. We’ve talked about it before.”
This year's Big Ten title game marks the first time two 12–0 teams have ever met for the conference crown.
The Buckeyes, last season’s national champions, saw their Big Ten title bids derailed in recent years by losses to Michigan and Oregon.
