'I believe Ohio State will stop the run.' Urban Meyer pumps up OSU crowd before Michigan game
With dueling live pregame shows on campus, Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff" had one advantage ESPN's "College GameDay" didn't have.
The Ohio State legendary coach and college football analyst is one of the hosts for the show and he knows a little about the Ohio State-Michigan game, which kicks off at noon on Fox. Meyer never lost to Michigan as head coach from 2012-2018, 7-0.
Sitting next to Michigan great Charles Woodson, who wore a "3-0" golden necklace, Meyer, wearing a "7-0" necklace" drew cheers from the crowd and led them in the "O-H-I-O" chant.

Woodson went 3-0 against the Buckeyes in the late 1990s.
It didn't phase Meyer, who quickly turned his attention to the story of the day: Ohio State's defense and Michigan's star running back Blake Corum, who will start for the Wolverines.
"I believe Ohio State will stop the run," Meyer said. "Because for 365 days that team has been told they can't stop the run."

Bush said it's the same type of injury that Corum suffered. Corum's injury is listed as knee injury. Bush said it took him nearly two years to fully recover from the injury.
