The MSU-OSU football game at 3:30 p.m. EST in Columbus, Ohio will surely set the playoff path for the victor, but the Spartans and Buckeyes are rising above this rivalry to support a University of Michigan family.
Five-year-old Chad Carr, grandson of former Wolverines' head coach Lloyd Carr and Hall of Fame safety Tom Curtis, will be recognized by the two teams with a helmet decal. Carr has an inoperable brain tumor and was put in hospice care last week, according to the Facebook page "Pray For Chad Carr."
The U-M community has been supporting the Carr family through their hard time on multiple occasions this year, including a dedication of the football team's two-overtime victory over Indiana last week.
The U-M softball team also visited Carr yesterday and gave him gifts after he celebrated his very own Christmas earlier this week.
