Youth presents a challenge for Ohio State, but Urban Meyer up for it

CHICAGO -- The roster has changed dramatically.

The expectations remain exactly the same.

Urban Meyer didn’t even bother waiting for a question about the huge amount of talent he has to replace or all the starting jobs left to be filled when Ohio State reports for training camp in August, wasting no time stepping to the podium on Tuesday at Big Ten media days and addressing the obvious right away.

But in case there was any anticipation in the Hyatt Regency ballroom that Meyer might try to damper some hype around a team that is still the preseason media pick to win the Big Ten, he brushed that aside as quickly as he did the concerns about the lack of experience Ohio State will have once practice opens.
