Urban Meyer is known as one of the most aggressive coaches in college football. But Ohio State's head coach and the Buckeyes did not rank at the top of one metric that helps measure such a mindset in their own conference.
In recent seasons, the Buckeyes have ranked near the middle of the Big Ten in fourth-down attempts, both a byproduct of having high-scoring offenses, various game situations where such plays arise and other things. As Michael Citro outlined two summers ago, Meyer tends to lean on his offense in those situations. But not as often as you might think.
