Story byPhil Harrison, Buckeyes WireThu, December 25, 2025 at 1:47 AM UTC·1 min readWe are now less than a week away from Ohio State beginning its College Football Playoff journey in the Cotton Bowl Classic opposite the Miami Hurricanes, and as things get closer and closer, we'll continue to get some media opportunities from the OSU coaches and players. We already got an opportunity to hear from some of the Ohio State contingent on both sides of the ball, and that included tight end Max Klare earlier this week. Klare came from Purdue in order to be developed into a complete player and to play in games like what he's about to experience, so his excitement has to be boiling over. He had plenty to say about the matchup with Miami as he took his turn at the podium, and thanks to the WBNS 10TV YouTube channel, we have his entire press conference so you can get his perspective on all the happenings. There is sure to be more opportunities to bring more sound bites and news from both sidelines as we get closer to the game.
