Over the last 10 days, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has been asked an array of questions surrounding the Buckeyes’ loss to Purdue, and many of those questions included an area of criticism that has been present all season long: the defense. When Meyer was asked if they were able to determine the root of the…
I normally start off each weekly post with a quick recap of the previous week. I’ll still give a brief list of where I was right and wrong with regards to my Purdue predictions. I will, however, opt out of the game summary. It may be Halloween, but I still don’t have the heart to scare you with a thorough recap of that mess.
Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer shared a deeper look at his ongoing health issues during an interview Tuesday with Yahoo’s Pete Thamel. Meyer said he has been dealing with headaches as a result of an arachnoid cyst in his brain. That was what caused him to fall to his knees on the sideline during the Buckeyes’ game against Indiana earlier this fall. Arachnoid cysts are not life-threatening, but in Meyer’s case, it has led to headaches. Meyer had surgery in 2014 to drain the cyst…
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer took questions during Tuesday afternoon’s Big Ten coaches teleconference. He answered questions about his Buckeye team as well as questions about Saturday’s upcoming matchup against Nebraska. The Huskers have won two in a row while Ohio State has had to stew for a week following…
For the first time since 2003, the Buckeyes have gone five games in a row averaging less than four yards per carry. Back then, Ohio State was still dealing with the departure of star running back Maurice Clarett and trying to do what they could to get by. It was rarely pretty, but OSU was still in the national title hunt until…
It’s been more than a week since Purdue Harbor II and we still have a bit of fallout from that game to discuss, including how Ohio State is moving on and (hopefully) improving as the November portion of the schedule looms in the final run-up to the college football postseason. The Boilermakers celebrated their win…
The 2018 season has not gone according to plan for Urban Meyer and his Ohio State football team. It all started with a three-game suspension for mishandling the situation involving former assistant coach Zach Smith. Then, many fans thought Meyer looked pained or distressed on the sidelines during games. Meyer even fell to his knees on the sidelines during the Buckeyes’ closer-than-expected win over Indiana. He later explained that it was a result of headaches he suffers due to an arachnoid cyst on his brain…
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer met with reporters for his weekly Monday press conference. He answered questions about his football team and what they did over the bye week. He also addressed questions about his health and his plans for next season. Questions about the Nebraska game were also asked and answered.
The Buckeyes’ off-week is over and now the team shifts its focus to Nebraska. It’s the first game for the Buckeyes since their shocking 49-20 loss to Purdue, and should provide a good look at how much the Buckeyes have – or haven’t – fixed. There are still questions about the OSU run game, especially in short yardage. The linebacker unit and strong safety position have been big question marks all season. Last week, defensive coordinator Greg Schiano said the defense was “getting close” to where it needed to be…
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer spent time on his weekly radio show on Thursday afternoon despite this being a bye week for the Buckeyes. He talked about what his coaching staff is doing right now and where the personnel stands in regard to injury and the like. Here are the highlights.
Welcome to Ohio State’s bye week. It’s the time during the season when a coaching staff can get out on the road and recruit a little bit, or they can self scout tendencies that have accumulated over the season, or they can get busy working on fixes that have plagued their team all season long. For Urban Meyer and his coaching staff…
