Ohio State fans rally in support of suspended coach Urban Meyer

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- More than 100 Buckeye fans gathered at the gates of Ohio Stadium on Monday night in an effort to show support for suspended coach Urban Meyer, who is currently embroiled in controversy related to domestic assault allegations against a former assistant coach.

The scarlet-and-gray crowd chanted "Urban Meyer" and sang the university fight song in a rally that lasted less than 20 minutes in the 90-degree evening heat.

Jeff Hamms -- a fan from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina - sparked the event with a Facebook post this weekend. He drove to Columbus on Saturday because he felt Meyer was being treated unfairly.
