‘It’s time to panic’: Urban Meyer does not hold back on Ohio State after loss to USC

Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer, who won a national championship with the Buckeyes and retains an administrative role in their athletic department, expressed serious concern about the team following their loss to USC. Speaking on his podcast 'The Triple Option', Meyer stated he is 'panicked' about the Buckeyes' performance. The comments came after Ohio State had previously defeated Michigan 27-9 on November 29, 2025, suggesting the USC loss represented a significant step backward for the program.
