Urban Meyer hasn’t said much to defend himself since being accused of having knowledge of a domestic violence arrest involving former assistant coach Zach Smith. Other than a statement prior to being placed on administrative leave and his time at the podium at Ohio State’s press conference Wednesday, the Buckeyes head coach has remained pretty quiet.
