This kind of looks like a cycle about to repeat itself. Talent's shared enough about Meyer's drive, and the physical toll it takes on him. Maybe the guy just needs a year off every now and again.

Yeah, for basically his 8 good teams (out of 10), Tressel only lost one game he absolutely should have won, and that was @Purdue in 2008. The only other game that might qualify is the loss to Illinois and Juice Williams at home, but they were 9-4. In his '8 good seasons" the records of teams that beat him:
7-6 (@Wisconsin at night -- that's always a dogfight)
10-3
13-0
11-1
13-1
9-4
12-2

He got boat raced by the stupid good 2008 USC and, of course, UFM's Florida team. But his teams would have never got smoked by Purdue or Iowa. That said, he wasn't as good in the "big games" as UFM. I think both are direct products of their approaches. Tressel was very conservative with his offense AND his defense. The latter was definitely a "make you drive the field" approach that generally kills lesser offensive talent. UFM is high pressure on offense and defense. So, Tressel wasn't prone to highs and lows like UFM.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

One thing I know from his time in the SEC. The worst thing that can happen to rival teams is for Urban to lose a game he shouldn't have. The teams after the loss usually aren't happy for long."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

He has three inexplicable losses at OSU.
After losing to Sparty in 2015, he rebounded with a nice win in the House of HARBAUGH!!!!!
After losing to Iowa last year, OSU rebounded with a decent showing against Sparty.
Unfortunately, UNL is better than those two teams, and OSU is way worse than their 2015 and 2017 versions.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
