Now in broadcasting, prior to Ohio State facing Florida Atlantic on Saturday, Meyer explained how the run-pass option works in college football. Even Meyer’s biggest critics have to admit he did a great job of teaching the spread and RPO on the Fox Sports college football pregame show.
As it turns out, the plays Meyer laid out were some of the exact ones Ohio State ran against FAU in the first quarter. Check out this spliced Twitter clip:
