Ohio State Football: Win one for the Gipper

Legendary Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer has a saying he often uses around his program, especially in big games. A phrase that poetically rings throughout the city of Columbus as a directive from their fearless leader. Meyer commands, “When I need you the most, you give me your very best.”

Back in 2011, the Buckeyes finished the season with an abysmal 6-7 record following the aftermath of poor decision-making of former players the year prior leading to a coaching change.

In stepped Urban Meyer which immediately changed the air in the state of Ohio. Meyer wasted no time getting off to an undefeated 12-0 season in 2012 and later stretching that streak to 24 games.
