COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer on still didn’t have many answers Monday about how the Buckeyes were beaten so badly by Iowa on Saturday.

At his news conference on Monday, Meyer shrugged off questions about play calling, player discipline and other weak links.
“I think Iowa played well, and we didn’t play very well,” he said, noting that everything is being evaluated.
“The question you have to ask is why. Not so much how, but why did it happen?” he said. “Are we not practicing (efficiently)? Do we have the right people playing? All those types of things.”
The 55-24 loss was the worst of the Meyer era at Ohio State and erased any hopes of the Buckeyes making it to the College Football Playoff for the second straight season.
Ohio State can still win the Big Ten East and play for a conference championship with wins over Michigan State on Saturday and Michigan to end the season.
