Urban Meyer’s Headset A Casualty Of Frustration (Video)
By Phil Watson
Ohio State beat Michigan State Saturday night, but coach Urban Meyer was showing some frustration with his defense early in the game.
The Ohio State Buckeyes remained unbeaten in Big Ten play Saturday night with their 49-37 win over Michigan State in East Lansing, Mich.
But the fact that Spartans’ running back Jeremy Langford kept gashing his defense annoyed coach Urban Meyer … a lot.

The Buckeyes won despite giving up 536 yards of offense to Sparty, including 137 yards and three touchdowns to Langford, who averaged 7.6 yards per carry.
Fortunately for Meyer and the Buckeyes, though, Michigan State’s defense was even worse—giving up 568 yards.
Redshirt freshman T.J. Barrett did a lot of that damage, throwing for 300 yards and three touchdowns and running for 86 more with two scores.
Throw in the 154 yards and two touchdowns that Ezekiel Elliott racked up and this was not the prototypical three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust Big Ten affair—not with 86 points and 1,104 yards of total offense lighting up the night sky.
So it’s likely that Urban was pretty happy by the end of the night—particularly given that the Spartans had knocked off an unbeaten Ohio State team the last time the two sides met in last year’s Big Ten championship game.
