Ep. 207: What Michigan, Penn State and Nebraska think of Ohio State without Urban Meyer

Published: May 22, 2019, 4:27 a.m.

b'Ohio State dominated the Big Ten during Urban Meyer\\u2019s seven years as head coach. Ohio State was 54-4 in regular-season Big Ten play. The Buckeyes had the best record in their division (sometimes tied for first) all seven seasons, making the Big Ten Championship four times and winning three of them. \\nThe rest of the league has been waiting for a shot. \\nMichigan State, Penn State, Iowa and Purdue each beat the Meyer-led Buckeyes during the regular season, while the Spartans also knocked out the Buckeyes in the 2013 Big Ten Championship. But everyone else never figured out what it was like to beat Meyer in scarlet and gray.\\nNow they get to try Ryan Day. To see how that coaching change, and the Buckeyes as a whole, are viewed around the league, Doug Lesmerises called three great writers:\\n\\u2022 Sam McKewon from the Omaha World-Herald, who covers Nebraska\\n\\u2022 Aaron McMann from MLive.com, who covers Michigan\\nand \\n\\u2022 Bob Flounders from Pennlive.com, who covers Penn State.\\nThey gave their views of the Buckeyes, and checked in on the challenges and expectations for those teams this season. These are the three teams Doug thinks will provide the stiffest tests for Day in year one. And you\\u2019ll know a lot more about them after this podcast.\\nPlus, as always, Doug takes your questions. And, as always, thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.\\nFind out more at https://buckeye-talk-ohio-state-podcast.pinecast.co\\n See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
