COLUMBUS, Ohio – Over its bye week, No. 4 Ohio State’s players and coaches had a chance to slouch on their couches and see other top teams in action.
They came away thinking they could play with any of them.
Coach Urban Meyer says he believes his team is “right there” with the best in the nation.
“I think we are a good team, I do. I think we are not an explosive team. Some of these teams are real explosive teams,” he said.
But that opinion doesn’t mean much if the Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) don’t keep winning.
“I really like this team. Where are we? I don’t know. We’re 6-0 and doing the best we can to get first downs and stop people,” he said.
Ohio State has won 18 times in a row — the longest streak in the nation — heading into Saturday’s home game with Iowa (3:30 p.m./ABC6).
