Urban Meyer receives a hero’s welcome

The ‘Urban Legend’ makes his return to the Horseshoe for the Fox Sports’ pregame show “Big Noon Kickoff.”

According to the Chicago Tribune however, Urban Meyer will not be on the sidelines for this one.

"“No, I’d want to dive in the middle of the field, call a play or something,” Meyer told Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune. “That would be real awkward.”"

None the less, Urbs’ will be on the pregame show, outside of Ohio Stadium. You better believe Buckeye fans will show up and pay their respects to the man who gave them a national championship and a 7-0 record against that team up north.

Ryan Day proves he can coach in big games.

Ryan Day has been remarkable in his first seven games as head coach. He seems to have “it” when it comes to game planning and calling plays.

He took Urban Meyer’s team to Texas last year and beat TCU. He traveled to Nebraska earlier this season and delivered a 41-point beat down under the lights. This however will be Day’s first big test against a very good Big Ten team.

How does he respond? I say with flying colors.

Ohio State 38, Wisconsin 17

As I wrote about earlier, I do believe that this Wisconsin team is coming in the Horseshoe to prove something. They want to prove that last week was a fluke and that they are indeed one of the best teams in the nation.

Only problem is they are playing the best team in the nation. I just don’t see Wisconsin’s defense being able to control all these skill position players on Ohio State.

The Buckeye defense will be geared toward stopping Jonathan Taylor and forcing quarterback Jack Coan to throw the ball against the best secondary in the nation. And that proves to be too much for Bucky.

I think Ohio State wins 38-17. Keep an eye out for all of our game predictions later this week.
