COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer's head feels fine. But the Ohio State coach is still stinging from the impact of the penalty he drew after an official inadvertently hit him on the sideline.
Meyer took exception to the 15-yard penalty called against him for sideline interference in the second quarter of Saturday's comeback win at Wisconsin, but the pain was more mental than physical after the errant hand struck him in the head while standing in a spot where he was apparently told he could legally be positioned.
"I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, and if not, I don't care -- it should not have been a penalty, per [Big Ten coordinator of officials] Bill Carollo," Meyer said during his Monday news conference.
