COLUMBUS, Ohio – Two of college football’s traditional powers clash in the 82nd Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Friday, Dec. 29 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Ohio State, champion of the Big Ten Conference, faces Pac-12 champion USC with ESPN to televise. No. 5 Ohio State won its 36th Big Ten title the last time out with a 27-21 victory over then-No. 4 and undefeated Wisconsin at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Championship game MVP J.K. Dobbins rushed for 174 yards while the Buckeye defense limited a normally explosive Badger rush off ense to just 60 yards on the ground. Safety Damon Webb made the game-clinching interception on a fourth down play with under two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. This year’s Cotton Bowl matchup features two of the nation’s top off enses: Ohio State ranks No. 6 nationally averaging 523.6 yards/game while USC in No. 15 at 489.5 yards/game. The Buckeyes and Trojans also feature Top 25-ranked scoring off enses: Ohio State is No. 5 (42.5 points/game) while USC in No. 24 (34.5 points/game). On defense, the Buckeyes are among the top 10 teams nationally in both total defense (No. 8, 292.3 yards/game) and against the rush (No. 7, 108.8 yards/game). Led by the duo of Nick Bosa (14.5 TFL) and Sam Hubbard (10.0 TFL), Ohio State is No. 6 in the nation with 100 tackles for loss and has held nine of its 13 opponents to less than 300 yards of total off ense.

2017 POSITION-BY-POSITION SNAPSHOT

DEFENSIVE LINE

Coach Larry Johnson (4th year at Ohio State)Briefl y: This unit features depth, talent, experience and 120 combined career starts led by Tyquan Lewis’ 35, Dre’mont Jones’ 22 and Sam Hubbard’s 21. No less than 10 defensive linemen get playing time every game, and there are six players who’ve started at least seven games apiece this season. Who are the “Rushmen”? Four DEs who wreak havoc: Lewis, Jalyn Holmes, Hubbard and Nick Bosa. All-American Bosa: Sophomore Nick Bosa was named a fi rst-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association. He joins brother Joey as one of four sets of brothers to earn fi rst-team All-America honors for Ohio State. More Awards: Bosa, who led the team with 14.5 TFLs and with 7.0 quarterback sacks, was the Big Ten’s defensive lineman of the year. That gives Ohio State four consecutive Big Ten defensive linemen of the year, including Tyquan Lewis last year and Joey Bosa in 2014 and 2015. Lewis was fi rst-team all-Big Ten this year, Hubbard was second-team and Jones was third-team and Holmes was honorable mention. Notable Notes & Numbers: Ohio State’s defense ranks sixth nationally with 100 TFLs and second with 419 lost yards … Look no further than the defensive line: 11 diff erent linemen have at least 2.0 tackles for loss … After Bosa, Hubbard (10.0) and Lewis (7.5) are next in TFLs and Lewis (6.0) and Hubbard (4.5) are second and third on the team in sacks … Lewis has 22.5 career sacks and needs just one-half more to move into Ohio State’s all-time Top 5.

OFFENSIVE LINE

Coach Greg Studrawa (2nd year at Ohio State)Briefl y: Three along the line – already graduated C Billy Price, senior LT Jamarco Jones and sophomore LG Michael Jordan – were named fi rst-team all-Big Ten Conference and junior RT Isaiah Prince was third-team all-Big Ten. These four are in their second season starting as a unit with 26 consecutive starts to their credit. Demetrius Knox has played well the past seven games as a starter after Branden Bowen suff ered a left leg fracture against Maryland to end his season. Unanimous All-American, Rimington Trophy Honoree: Price, a fi rst-team All-American in 2016 by the AFCA, was a unanimous All-American this season, the Rimington Trophy winner as the nation’s top center and the Big Ten’s Rimington-Pace off ensive lineman of the year. He is the second consecutive Buckeye center to sweep those awards: Pat Elfl ein, now starting for the Minnesota Vikings, did so last year. Notable Notes & Numbers: Price, who has started a school record 54 consecutive games, was also fi nalist for the Senior CLASS Award … the off ensive line has powered the Buckeyes to national rankings of No. 6 in total off ense, No. 5 in scoring, No. 15 in rushing and No. 28 in passing yards per game … Ohio State lead the Big Ten in rushing, scoring and total off ense, and ranked second in passing.

RECEIVERS

Coach Zach Smith (6th year at Ohio State)Briefl y: This unit has been outstanding. All year. And not a senior in the bunch, although there are a couple of fourth-year juniors. There is a core of six WRs who divide reps and all of whom have caught at least 18 passes and at least two TD passes. A seventh – walk-on C.J. Saunders – has caught 17 passes for 221 yards. Parris Campbell was third-team all-Big Ten while K.J. Hill and Johnnie Dixon each earned honorable mention honors. Newsworthy: Eleven diff erent players have caught touchdown passes this season, including seven from the receiving room. Seven have also caught at least 20 passes, nine have caught at least 17 and we are one Mike Weber reception away from 10 players having at least 10 receptions. Leaders: The two fourth-year juniors – Terry McLaurin and Parris Campbell – were each chosen by their teammates to serve as captains for the 2017 Buckeyes. Notable Notes & Numbers: McLaurin leads the unit with eight catches of 20-yards-or-more, including an igniting 84-yard catch and run vs. Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game … K.J. Hill has six 20-plus yard receptions … Hill leads the team with 55 receptions and is second with 546 receiving yards … Parris Campbell, who also played the role of booster rocket vs. Wisconsin with a 57-yard touchdown, leads the team in reception yardage (587) while ranking second with 39 receptions … Johnnie Dixon has a team-leading total of eight TD receptions … Dixon is just two TD catches away from Top 10 single season status at Ohio State … Hill had a huge game vs. Penn State: a career-high 12 catches for a personal best 102 yards. The 12 receptions are tied for fourth in school history … Receivers have produced fi ve 100-yard receiving games this season, the most 100-yard receiving games in coach Urban Meyer’s six seasons as coach. Previous high was three in 2015 and 2013 … Campbell and Saunders vs. UNLV represent the fi rst 100-yard receiving tandem for Ohio State since Ted Ginn and Santonio Holmes did it versus Notre Dame 12 years ago, in 2005.

LINEBACKERS

Coach Billy Davis (1st year at Ohio State)Briefl y: Chris Worley, Jerome Baker, Tuf Borland and Malik Harrison have handled the linebacker play the past four games. Worley has started at all three linebacker positions this year and is presently manning one OLB spot opposite Baker with Borland playing well in the middle. The Tackle Box: Jerome Baker, behind a career-best 16 stops vs. Wisconsin, leads the team with 67 tackles. Team captain Worley, despite missing three games with a foot injury, is fourth with 53 stops. Borland is fi fth with 52 tackles. Notable Notes & Numbers: Both Baker and Worley were named honorable mention all-Big Ten Conference this year … Worley moved to

middle linebacker on Day 1 of spring drills after playing on the outside last year. He moved back outside after the Iowa game … Borland’s 12 total stops versus Army were the most by a freshman linebacker since the 2011 season, when Ryan Shazier recorded 15 against Penn State … Worley has career-bests of 11 tackles vs. Oklahoma this year and vs. Michigan last year. Baker’s previous high, before 16 vs. Wisconsin, was 15 vs. Michigan last season.

CORNERBACKS

Coach Kerry Coombs (6th year at Ohio State)Briefl y: Despite losing two underclassman CBs to the fi rst-round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Ohio State got fi ne play from a trio of players this year in junior Denzel Ward and third-year sophomores Damon Arnette and Kendall Sheffi eld. Ward started all 13 games; Arnette 11 and Sheffi eld two. Led by Ward’s 17 passes defended (15 PBUs and two interceptions), this trio has combined for 32 total passes defended. Consensus All-American: Ward, in his fi rst season as a starter, was named a consensus All-American this season. He was named to the Associated Press, The Sporting News and American Football Coaches Association All-America fi rst teams. Arnette was honorable mention all-Big Ten. Game-Changer: Ward was outstanding vs. Michigan: career-highs in solo tackles (7) and total tackles (8) plus he had two pass break-ups and a blocked extra point, his second blocked kick of the season. His fi rst: a blocked punt with 11:39 to play trailing No. 2 Penn State by 15. It may have been the play of the game in Ohio State’s come-from-behind, 39-38 win. The Buckeyes scored two plays later and the rally was on. 4 First-Round Draft Picks: Ohio State has produced four fi rst round NFL Draft DBs in the last two years, including a record three cornerbacks in two years. Eli Apple went No. 10 in 2016 to the New York Giants and last year Marshon Lattimore went No. 11 overall to the New Orleans Saints and Gareon Conley went No. 24 overall to the Oakland Raiders. Notable Notes & Numbers: Ward’s 15 PBS’s this year rank third in school history and his 17 passes defended rank fourth … In his fi rst ever start in the season opener vs. Indiana, Ward had fi ve pass break-ups and a key, fourth-quarter interception … Arnette had an interceptions vs. UNLV and Michigan State … Arnette leads the CBs with 39 tackles but is followed closely by Ward and Sheffi eld with 37 apiece … True freshman Jeff rey Okudah has played on defense in all 13 games this season.

SAFETIES

Coach Greg Schiano (2nd year at Ohio State)

Briefl y: Damon Webb is the senior veteran of the secondary with 26 consecutive starts at safety, including 13 alongside Malik Hooker last season. He leads the team with four interceptions,

including one vs. Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. He has fi ve for his career. Jordan Fuller has joined Webb in the starting lineup at the other safety spot in 12 games. 2nd and 3rd: Fuller and Webb rank second and third on the team in tackles with 60 and 56, respectively. Honors: Both Webb and Fuller were named third-team all-Big Ten Conference this season. Fuller, who carries a 3.8 GPA in strategic communications, was a second-team Academic All-American.

7

82ND GOODYEAR COTTON BOWL CLASSIC

Notable Notes & Numbers: Fuller has interceptions in back-to-back games vs. Michigan – to end UM’s fi nal drive – and vs. Wisconsin … his INT vs. UM came with 2:36 to play and the Buckeyes up by four points. Three plays later Mike Weber was in the end zone and the Buckeyes were on their way to a sixth consecutive win over Michigan … Webb ended Wisconsin’s fi nal drive with an interception at the 1:50 mark of the fourth quarter and Ohio State up by six … Webb actually had more plays on defense last year than All-American Malik Hooker: 810 to 808 … Hooker was a unanimous All-American in his one season as a starter last year. He led the nation in “pick-sixes” with three and ranked third nationally with seven interceptions.

QUARTERBACK

Coach Ryan Day (1st year at Ohio State)Barrett … Briefl y: He’s a two-time Big Ten champion now, including this year when he led the Buckeyes to an 8-1 regular season mark in the Big Ten and to the title game win over Wisconsin. He was a fi nalist for the Davey O’Brien national quarterback of the year award and he is a fi nalist for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose award as best player from the state of Texas. He is the fi rst Ohio State starting quarterback to go 4-0 vs. Michigan and he has set the Ohio State record for QB wins with 37 (against just six defeats). Barrett has claimed 37 school (33) and/or Big Ten (4) records. He holds, among others, school records for passing yards (9,320) and Big Ten records for TDs responsible for (145) and touchdown passes (104). Barrett is seventh in NCAA history in TDs responsible for and is 17th in NCAA history in rush yards by a QB (3,197). Barrett’s Streak: Barrett had a streak of 190 passes without an interception snapped against Iowa. His streak included a school record 16 consecutive completions in the third and fourth quarters vs. Penn State. Barrett completed 33-of-39 passes for 328 yards and four TDs in the comeback win over the No. 2 Nittany Lions. In the fourth quarter alone, he was 13-for-13 for 170 yards and three touchdowns. Notable Notes & Numbers: Barrett is just 175 yards from Drew Brees’ Big Ten record of 12,692 yards of total off ense … Haskins came into the Michigan game for an injured Barrett with just under 7 minutes to play in the third quarter and proceeded to lead Ohio State to 216 yards of off ense, 17 consecutive points and the victory. His top completion: a 27-yard strike to Austin Mack on third-and-13 from the OSU 47 to keep the go-ahead touchdown drive alive … the Buckeyes are 28th nationally in passing yards at 274.2 yards per game … the passing game is also 11th nationally in comp. pct. (64.7) and sixth in pass. eff . (161.74) … the Buckeye off ense had school record streaks this season of six consecutive games of 500-or-more yards of total off ense and six consecutive games of at least 300 yards passing … Barrett, Haskins and Joe Burrow combined to throw for a single game school record 474 yards versus

UNLV and they also threw a school record tying seven touchdown passes to a school record seven diff erent receivers.

RUNNING BACKS

Coach Tony Alford (3rd year at Ohio State)Boom Boom: Behind J.K. Dobbins, Mike Weber and J.T. Barrett, the Ohio State run game is hitting at 5.9 yards per carry, the second highest average in school history, in addition to 249.4 yards per game which leads the Big Ten and is 15th nationally. Of note: Dobbins had 101 rush yards, Barrett 67 and Weber 57, including a game-winning 25-yard touchdown run, as the Buckeyes went for 226 vs. Michigan’s No. 3 ranked defense. Against Wisconsin’s No. 1 rated defense and No. 1 rated rush defense, the Buckeyes rushed for 238 yards including 174 by Dobbins. And against Michigan State’s No. 3 ranked rush defense, Weber rushed for 162 and Dobbins 124, part of a James Taylor-like “steamroller” special 335-yard rush total. The dual 100-yard games represented the fi rst by an OSU running back tandem since the 2011 season, when Dan Herron and Carlos Hyde (along with QB Braxton Miller) all topped 100 yards rushing vs. Indiana. Briefl y: True freshman Dobbins has starred this season, with a frosh school record 1,364 yards and thus becoming just the fourth Ohio State freshman to top 1,000 yards. The second-team all-Big Ten running back – and ESPN freshman All-American – boasts a terrifi c 7.5 yards per carry average that ranks fi fth nationally. His rush yards rank 14th nationally. Weber, after missing much of the fi rst four games with a hamstring, has come on strong the last half of the season with 608 yards rushing and a team-best 10 touchdowns. Notable Notes & Numbers: Weber’s career-best rushing day vs. Michigan State (162) included a career-long 82-yard touchdown run. It was the sixth-longest rush in Ohio State history and the longest since Ezekiel Elliott’s ‘Bama breaking 85-yarder in the 2014 CFP semifi nals at the Sugar Bowl. Weber averaged 18 yards off his nine carries vs. Michigan State, missing a school-record by one carry … Dobbins had 77- and 53-yard rushes vs. a Badger defense that had allowed just three plays over 50 yards all year. He averaged 13.2 yards per carry against Army, with 172 yards off 13 carries. It was the second-highest per rush average in a game for Ohio State (at least 10 carries) … Dobbins is only the sixth true freshman to start the fi rst game of season for Ohio State. The others: QB Art Schlichter in 1978; LT Orlando Pace in 1995; LB Andy Katzenmoyer in 1996; RB Maurice Clarett in 2002; and RG Michael Jordan in 2016 … Last year Weber was just the third Ohio State freshman to crack 1,000 yards rushing (1,096 yards with nine touchdowns) and he was the ninth Buckeye to capture Big Ten freshman of the year honors … Dobbins’ high game: 181 vs. Indiana in his collegiate debut..

TIGHT END

Coach Kevin Wilson (1st year at Ohio State)

Briefl y: 2016 starter, senior and honorable mention all-Big Ten honoree Marcus Baugh is leading the way with 24 receptions for 264 yards and fi ve touchdowns, including a 25-yard tying TD vs. Michigan and the game-winning grab against Penn State of 16 yards with just 1:48 to play in the game. Rashod Berry has six catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns in his fi rst season with game action as a tight end. Notable Notes & Numbers: Baugh has started 28 times in his career, including in all 13 games last season … Baugh now ranks in a tie for eighth at Ohio State for TDs by a tight end with eight. He needs just three receptions – he has 51 for his career – to move into Ohio State’s tight end Top 10 … Berry broke four tackles on his second career reception which turned into a 38-yard touchdown reception against UNLV … Berry, who played tight end as a red-shirt in 2015 but moved to defensive end last year before moving back to tight end this fall, had three catches for 57 yards in the game … Baugh has made TD-springing blocks for J.K. Dobbins’ 52-yard touchdown run against Army and on Johnnie Dixon’s 39-yard touchdown reception against Rutgers. SPECIAL TEAMS

Coaches Urban Meyer and Kerry CoombsIn Brief: Liam McCullough is in his second season as a long snapper and Sean Nuernberger is in his second year handling all placements. Drue Chrisman is a red-shirt freshman in his fi rst season as the team’s punter. Both Nuernberger and Chrisman were third-team all-Big Ten honorees. Notable Notes & Numbers: Chrisman has been solid in his inaugural season by averaging 44.0 yards per punt. He was terrifi c vs. Wisconsin wth a 46.0 yard average, vs. Michigan (45.0) and also Oklahoma (45.8 yard average with all four punts landing inside the 15). A Ray Guy Award semifi nalist, Chrisman and the Buckeyes are 11th nationally in net punting at 41.4 yards per punt … Nuernberger is 32-for-44 in his career in fi eld goals, including 16-of-20 this year. He has smashed the Big Ten Conference record for consecutive extra points and has now made 174 consecutively including all 68 this year with his most important kick giving Ohio State its fi rst lead against Penn State at 39-38 … As a team, Ohio State is No. 1 in the Big Ten in punting (41.4), No. 1 in kickoff returns (24.2) and No. 5 in kickoff coverage.

2017: A RECORD-BREAKING OFFENSE

The 2017 Ohio State off ense has been on a record smashing pace this season with 523.6 yards of off ense per game that tops the previous school record by nearly 12 yards per contest. The sixth-ranked total off ense in the nation did this by setting school records with six consecutive games of 300-or-more passing yards and six consecutive games of 500-or-more yards of off ense. The Buckeyes also tied a school mark with four consecutive games of 50-or-more points scored.

SECONDS ARE GOOD, TOO!

• The team’s 5.9 yards per rush average is second-best in school history.• The 39 passing touchdowns this year trails only the 42 thrown in 2014.• Ohio State’s 7.0 yards per play average is second in school history.

OUR OFFENSE vs. THEIR TOP DEFENSES

Ohio State faced four of the nation’s best defenses this season and had impressive showings in all of them. Consider:• Penn State was No. 1 in scoring defense, No. 15 in total defense and No. 17 vs. the rush: The Buckeyes scored 39 points, rushed for 201 yards and had 529 total yards in the 39-38 win.• Michigan State was No. 3 in rush defense and No. 12 in total defense: Led by of 100- yard performances from running backs Mike Weber and J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State rushed for a season-high 356 yards – the most on an MSU team since 2006 – in the 45-3 win.• Michigan was No. 3 in total defense, No. 1 in pass defense and No. 11 in scoring defense: the Buckeyes scored 31 points, including 17 unanswered in the second half, for a 31-20 victory. Ohio State rushed for a season-high vs. the Wolverines of 226 yards. • Wisconsin was No. 1 in three areas - total defense, rush defense and scoring defense and it was No. 3 vs. the pass: The Buckeyes rolled up 449 yards of total off ense – 212 above the Badgers’ season average – including 238 on the ground in the 27-21 Big Ten championship game win.

STAYING DEFENSIVE

Ohio State’s defense has been among the nation’s Top 10 defenses overall in each of the past three years and among the Top 20 defenses for the past four years. This year’s unit has allowed the fewest yards per game by an Ohio State team in seven years, and it has extended its pursuit of denying

PASADENA, Calif. – Woody Hayes made his fi rst trip to the Rose Bowl a memorable one, as the Buckeyes dominated the Trojans in the rain and mud. OSU and UCLA had tied for national championship honors, but the Bruins were excluded from the bowl because

of the “no repeat” rule that was in eff ect. Led by Howard “Hopalong” Cassady, the Buckeye ground game drove for 304 yards, helping OSU to a 360-206 advantage in total off ense. Cassady ran for 92 yards, Dave Leggett for 67 and Bob Watkins for 64. Leggett, the Ohio State quarterback, was named the outstanding player of the game.

PASADENA, Calif. – Led by tailback Anthony Davis, USC broke a 7-all tie at halftime with three third quarter scores. Davis collected 157 of USC’s 207 rushing yards and set up a Rose Bowl-record four Sam Cunningham touchdown runs. The Trojans scored each

time they touched the ball in the third quarter, Cunningham twice and Davis once. The third quarter overshadowed a fi ne fi rst half eff ort by Ohio State. At the half OSU held a 151-75 edge in rushing yards. Archie Griffi n tallied 73 yards on 15 carries in the fi rst half. OSU appeared to be in gear when fullback Randy Keith capped a 56-yard, eight-play drive with 13:37 to go in the fi rst half. But OSU could manage only a fi eld goal in the third and a John Bledsoe dash that ended an 87-yard drive with 44 seconds to play.

PASADENA, Calif. –

Shelton Diggs made a diving catch of a Pat Haden pass for a two-point conversion with just more than two minutes left in the game to bring the Trojans from behind and spoil Ohio State’s national championship hopes. It ended a wild fi nal stanza

in which 25 of the game’s 35 points were scored. The third period was one of missed opportunities for the Buckeyes, who twice had the ball inside the USC 10 but failed to score. Ohio State had staked itself to a 17-10 lead by scoring on its fi rst two possessions of the fourth period, however. Cornelius Greene led an 82-yard drive, covering the fi nal 3 yards himself for the fi rst score. Following a USC fumble at its own 30, Tom Klaban kicked a fi eld goal when the Buckeyes stalled out. Haden, starting at the USC 17, took the Trojans 83 yards to the winning touchdown and conversion. Tom Skladany’s 62-yard fi eld goal try fell short on OSU’s ensuing drive.

Ohio StadiumHOME OF THE BUCKEYES

Ohio State has a stretch of 113 consecutive crowds of 100,000 or larger.

Ohio Stadium is one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of sports. Built in 1922 at a cost of $1.3 million and refurbished in 2001 for slightly more than $194 million, the horseshoe-shaped stadium is a monument to college football. As part of the renovation, the once portable South Stands became a permanent fixture.

Ohio Stadium is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Anyone who has seen a game in the giant horseshoe understands why. There are few experiences in athletics that are more enjoyable!

GAME 7: AT PENN STATE GAME 9: NEBRASKA

Ohio State University head football coach Urban Meyer is 72-8 through fi ve-plus seasons leading one of the most storied programs in college football. He has coached the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2014 – the program’s eighth – by winning the fi rst College Football Playoff (CFP), to a repeat appearance in the CFP in 2017, to six consecutive Big Ten conference divisional titles and Big Ten crowns in 2014 and 2017, to a 47-3 record in Big Ten games and to a 18-5 record versus ranked teams.

He has done this by developing and overseeing a program culture that requires accountability, promotes respect, prepares young men for life after football and develops football skill sets and talents at an unsurpassed rate: his program has produced 33 NFL draft picks the last fi ve years, including 10 fi rst-round picks and record numbers of draft picks through the second, third and fourth rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft.

And his team members are getting it done in the classroom, as well. Ohio State Buckeyes have earned four academic All-American honorees the past three years, one National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete award and the team is coming off its fi nest academic semester under Meyer last fall with record numbers of students with 3.0 (or above) grade point averages for the semester and cumulatively.

OHIO STATE VS. USC

The fi rst 15-plus years as a head coach for Meyer, featuring three national championships and a record of 176 wins against just 31 losses for an .850 winning percentage, have been full of accomplishment, achievement and success for which few can compare. Consider:

• Meyer is the third-winningest coach in the history of college football (at least 10 years at an FBS school), trailing only Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy;

• Meyer’s .850 winning percentage is No. 1 among all active coaches with at least fi ve years of experience at an FBS school;

• He set the major college record with 165 wins through his fi rst 15 seasons as a head coach;• Meyer’s 2015 Buckeye senior class was the fi rst Power 5 school to win 50 games

over a four-year run (2012-15); • Meyer is the only modern day coach to win national championships coaching in two

diff erent conferences and, with championships in 2006 and 2008 at Florida and 2014 at Ohio State, he is one of only two coaches to win national titles at two diff erent schools;

• He is the fi rst coach in modern history – since 1937 when the NCAA began keeping records – to win at least 13 games in consecutive years (in 2008 and 2009), three times (2006-08-09) and four times (2006-08-09 at Florida and 2014 at Ohio State);

• Meyer is the only coach in major college history to have four diff erent winning streaks of at least 20 games (20 with Utah/Florida; 22 at Florida; 25 with Florida and Ohio State; and 23 at Ohio State). Only eight other coaches have had even two winning streaks of at least 20 games;

• Meyer won more games his fi rst 10 years – 104 – than all but three coaches in college football history; and

• Meyer reached 100 wins faster than all but one coach – Bud Wilkinson – in the last 57 years and faster than all but fi ve coaches all-time.

Making the Great State of Ohio Proud

Born in Toledo, raised in Ashtabula and with degrees from Cincinnati and Ohio State, Urban Meyer made it clear from the day he took the Ohio State position - Nov. 28, 2011 - what his intentions are: “We’re going to make the great state of Ohio proud with everything we do.” With “a statewide approval rating roughly equal to that of free ice cream” wrote David Briggs of The Blade in 2016, Meyer has, indeed, made Ohio proud of his Buckeyes.
