“We just want to let you know we’ve worked extremely hard for this moment,” Prince said.
Also talking was new Alex Grinch, a co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach.
“There is something very magical about college football Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, and I know that growing up in the area,” Grinch said. “I was born and raised a Buckeye. It’s been over 25 years since I’ve been at a Skull Session, and the best damn band in the land sure looks good.”
