What Urban Meyer said after Ohio State's win over Indiana
Week 6 of the college football season has come and gone for Ohio State and for the sixth straight week, the Buckeyes are moving on with a win.
At 6-0, Ohio State is No. 3 in the country, while No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Georgia each won their respective games. If the Buckeyes keep winning, there’s not much doubt as to where they will end up: the College Football Playoff.

On Saturday, Ohio State hosted Indiana and the Hoosiers certainly pushed the Buckeyes. The win didn’t come easy, as going into the fourth quarter, Ohio State owned a 35-26 lead.
Thanks in large part to QB Dwayne Haskins, who threw a career-high 6 TD and 455 yards passing, the Buckeyes survived by pulling away for a 49-26 win.
After the game, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer spoke with the media:
Urban Meyer calls the first-half defensive performance “awful.” He says the team has “very good personnel” and had already begun to search for solutions to giving up big passes before today’s game.

Urban Meyer said Jonathon Cooper and Malik Harrison are both still being evaluated and he isn’t sure what their injuries are yet.

Urban Meyer says Dwayne Haskins had an “incredible night” but Ohio State is still not doing what it needs to do in the run game, first-half defensive performance was not what Buckeyes expect.

Urban Meyer said he was dealing with a headache when he went down on the sideline in the fourth quarter.

Urban Meyer said he does see it as a sign of growth that Ohio State was able to come away with a win after a tough game at Penn State last week, unlike last year at Iowa.
