COLUMBUS, Ohio — So rarely is the first question asked in a postgame press conference the question that’s on everyone’s mind. But thanks to Austin Ward of LettermenRow.com, that’s exactly what happened when Ohio State coach Urban Meyer appeared behind the lectern Saturday to explain how his team crushed favored Michigan 62–39 to win the Big Ten East.
“Where has this team been all year?” Ward asked.
Meyer feigned aggravation. “Hey, we had 688 [yards] against Maryland,” Meyer said. Then he grinned.
Yes, Urban Meyer, the coach whose sideline agony inspired video montages after last week’s 52–51 overtime escape against the Terrapins, smiled and laughed and joked.
