IOWA CITY, Iowa — If you were hoping to get an explanation for the worst loss of the Urban Meyer era, you aren't going to get it from him.

As thousands of Iowa fans covered in black rushed the field to celebrate at Ohio State's funeral, Meyer walked into a small room in the bowels of Kinnick Stadium with his head down. The sports information director warned reporters that the press conference would be short, and it was. Three minutes and thirty seconds of Meyer unsuccessfully trying to explain the unexplainable.

Ohio State, the far superior, far more talented team, got its ass kicked by a team you'll glance down at your phone next week to see is tied in the third quarter with Indiana or Nebraska or some other Big Ten cellar dweller.
