What Urban Meyer said at his weekly press conference ahead of road trip to Maryland

Saturday’s win was never pretty, but the Buckeyes defense set the tone in a 26-6 win over Michigan State.

Ohio State entered the weekend No. 10 in the CFB Playoff rankings and likely still have a shot at the Playoff with just one loss. Taking out Michigan State leaves the Buckeyes with a road game against Maryland and the season-ending matchup with Michigan on the schedule.

As attention turns to the Terrapins, here’s a look at what Urban Meyer had to say at his weekly press conference. He began by explaining his appreciation and admiration for WR Terry McLaurin:

"If I have another child, I'm going to name him Terry. But I don't imagine that's going to happen." – Urban Meyer on his love for WR and punt gunner Terry McLaurin

Urban Meyer says Dwayne Haskins is still developing, and some of his statistical dropoff has been a result of playing better defenses and receivers not hanging on to the ball.

"I'm pleased with Dwayne."
