Meyer confirms that he will not suspended Marcus Hall or Dontre Wilson for the Big Ten Championship Game.
— Kyle Rowland (@KyleRowland) December 1, 2013 Hall and Wilson were both ejected from Saturday’s win over Michigan in an ugly incident where the two teams brawled on the field. Wilson was perhaps the worst offender, throwing a punch that connected solidly with a Wolverine player.
Hall, for his part, made his feelings on the matter and the ejection very clear.
Ohio State is favored over the Spartans, but the Buckeyes will need all the help they can get -- especially on the offensive end. Michigan State has one of the best defenses in the country, and is expected to be Ohio State’s stiffest test to date.
