COLUMBUS — Urban Meyer knows how difficult it is to avoid upsets in college football.
To do it for two years in a row is almost unbelievable.
“Every once in a while I’ll take a peek at the scoreboard and think, ‘Ooh. What happened there?”’ the Ohio State coach said after the fourth-ranked Buckeyes rolled over Indiana 42-14 on Saturday. “For this team to (win) 23 times in a row, that’s an incredible testimony to the players and coaches.”
Braxton Miller ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns and passed for two more as the Buckeyes set a school record for consecutive wins. Meyer, who won two national championships at Florida, refused to measure his current team against his title-winning squads with the Gators.
“If you’re asking me to compare, I don’t know if you can,” he said. “I’d have to go back and really, really think about it. I know this team is playing at a very, very high level. They’re focused each week. That’s our job to maintain focus again this week.”
