Over the past 36 years, the Cardinals have not seen a 600-yard receiving season from a tight end. Jay Novacek, of Cowboys fame, leads the pack with 569 in 1988.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Any version of The Game is better than no version of The Game. Bad pizza is still pizza, which makes it worth it. Ohio State vs. Michigan is still Ohio State vs. Michigan, which makes it worth it.
But since the 2020 version of The Game is off, with the Buckeyes and Wolverines not playing each other for the first time since 1917, let’s approach the bright side from both directions. First, every Ohio State fan has enough memories of this rivalry to fill an entire weekend of chatter.
