In conversation: The Dispatch's Lori Schmidt says she 'would be shocked' if Smith and Tate didn't play against Michigan

On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love. On today’s episode, Matt is in conversation with one of our oldest friends here at Land-Grant, the assistant sports editor of The Columbus Dispatch and Central Ohio sports reporting legend, Lori Schmidt. In the episode, Lori says that while she can't guarantee anything, she "would be shocked not to see [Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate] on the field" against Michigan on Saturday. She discusses how important this game is to them individually, as well as to the team as a whole. They also talk about what this game means to Ryan Day and whether or not we will see this new version of the Ohio State head coach, or if he will revert to his previous rivalry game form.
