Every coach dreams of playing Thanksgiving week. If you’re in high school, it means you’ve made a deep run. If you’re in small college, you’re starting a playoff run after a successful season. And if you’re an FBS school, it’s rivalry week.
This week on Defense with DC, Dan Carrel, who coached in the Ohio State-Michigan game, discusses the impact of rivalries on culture, tradition, and our way of life.
