The success Ohio State has experienced since the turn of the century has been staggering. The hiring of Jim Tressel sparked the new modern era of Buckeye dominance as Ohio State appeared in three National Title Games (2002, 2006, 2007) winning one with a perfect 14-0 record.
In 2006, Ohio State was shocked by the Florida Gators who were coached by Urban Meyer. Six years later, coach Meyer found himself returning home to coach his beloved Buckeyes and we all know the story. We thought Tressel had the program flying high, but Urban’s relentless pursuit of elite players pushed the program to an even higher level.
