They say you never want to follow a legend, but rather follow the guy who followed the legend. At Ohio State, however, that’s kind of difficult because OSU has had a College Football Hall of Fame head coach at the helm for 67 of the last 68 years. And who knows, Luke Fickell may make it a clean sweep when he’s eventually done as well.
Urban Meyer announced that he will step down as Ohio State’s head football coach, effective at the end of the 2018 season. The move doesn’t come as a shock – there had been significant speculation about Meyer’s future in the wake of health concerns, and the University’s response to the Zach Smith situation. Still, it marks the end of the most successful era in Ohio State football history…
On New Year’s Day 2019, the Rose Bowl game will have its traditional matchup of the Big Ten champion against the Pac-12 champion for the first time in five seasons. The No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes are set to face the No. 9 Washington Huskies in Pasadena. It’s not the College Football Playoff, but it’s still a very nice matchup of top-10 teams in one of the greatest venues in all of American sport. Sunday, after the matchup was made official, the head coaches of both schools held a teleconference to preview the game…
COLUMBUS — Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer met with reporters on Sunday to talk about the Buckeyes’ Rose Bowl berth as well as answer questions about not making the playoffs. He also spoke a bit about winning back-to-back Big Ten Championships. A few players also spoke with the media. Here are the highlights of everything said.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are headed to the Rose Bowl for the first time since the 2009 season. OSU won the Big Ten Championship Saturday night with a 45-24 win over Northwestern in Indianapolis. However, Sunday the College Football Playoff Committee voted the Buckeyes No. 6 in the nation, behind Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Georgia. That was disappointing, although not necessarily surprising…
INDIANAPOLIS — He returned to his hometown to once again make a statement for the Buckeyes. The best of senior wide receiver Terry McLaurin was brought out on Saturday in the Big Ten Championship Game as he finished with three receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns in a 45-24 win over Northwestern to…
Ever since Urban Meyer’s paid administrative leave was handed down back in July, there were some who speculated that this would be his final season at Ohio State. They saw the university’s lack of support for Meyer as a significant blow to the relationship between the coach and the school. Meyer has denied any type of schism whenever…
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer had some interesting things to say during his final press conference before the 2018 Big Ten Championship Game. His No. 6 Buckeyes are still alive for the College Football Playoff, and would be guaranteed no worse than a Rose Bowl berth with a win over No. 21 Northwestern. However, the answer that might draw the most attention was a simple “no comment on that” to a report that he does not plan to coach beyond the end of the 2019 season…
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer will take part in his weekly radio show today. When the show begins shortly after 12:00 pm, we will provide live updates throughout the hour. Meyer is expected to provide updates on his football team while also answering questions from hosts Jim Lachey and Paul Keels.
Last week’s edition of The Game was awesome. There’s no getting around it. I went in with guarded optimism, my weekly statistical projection giving the Buckeyes a very close victory. Instead, they dissected Don Brown’s “gameplan” like he was a middle-of-the-pack Big 12 defensive strategist. And, in just four hours, Urban Meyer turned…
