COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer got his wish, and Ohio State fans broke their own record giving it to him.
On a gorgeous afternoon, 100,189 people packed into the Horseshoe on Saturday to watch the Buckeyes scrimmage to close out their month of practices, establishing a new national record for spring game attendance and extending the mark they set just a year ago.
Meyer had appealed all week for Ohio State supporters to come out and provide a game-like environment for his roster full of young, inexperienced players after the team lost nine guys early to the NFL draft and one of the most decorated senior classes in school history.
