Urban Cryer

There's been a lot of speculation about Urban Meyer returning to coaching college football. Whether it's for UCLA or his beloved Notre Dame, most fans don't believe Urban's coached his last game. Why? Because he loves winning. He's done a shit ton of it. Urban Meyer is a top 20 coach in wins, the number one coach in win pct for three different schools (Ohio St, Florida, Utah), is 13-3 in 

Bowl games, and won three National Championships. Urban's pretty good at winning, but what was his worst loss? 

In an interview with the Columbus Dispatch, Urban Meyer said the 2015 Michigan St. loss at home was the worst of his career. When asked how much he thinks about the game he said, "Every day. I don't blame others. I blame myself. I could have done things better (as a coach) that day." I would make the argument that it sounds like there are other losses that he blames other people for but whatever. Take accountability for all your losses, Urbie. 

Michigan St. came in to that game ranked 9th in the country and the defending champ Buckeyes were ranked 3rd. Fans were claiming that Michigan St. was overrated cause they barely beat a stinky Rutgers and Purdue. Ohio St hadn't really done shit either besides beat Penn St, but they were finishing their year with three straight ranked opponents; starting with the Spartans. 

This Buckeye team hosted NFL stars like Joey Bosa, Zeke Elliot, and Michael Thomas. I'm not really sure how they ever lost. But they did. Michigan St beat them 17-14. JT Barrett was 9-16 with 46 yards, Zeke was held to 33 yards on 12 carries, and Michael Thomas caught two passes for 8 yards. Ohio St only had 5 first downs the whole entire game. 

After the game the team imploded. Zeke ran to the media to trash the play calling and accuse coaches of killing momentum. It turned out to be the ultimate momentum killer because that game would wind up being the difference maker for the playoffs. A one loss Michigan St. got in over the one loss Ohio St., changing the course of college football history. Oh what could have been. 

For anyone keeping score at home Alabama played Michigan St. in the first round of the playoffs that year and decapitated them 38-0.
