Urban Meyer spoke to the media today to rehash the Central Florida game while also providing insight into next week's clash with the Cal Golden Bears. Here's a recap:
Meyer: 'Best thing about being 2-0 is the chance to be 3-0." #Buckeyes
— John R. Kampf (@JKBuckeyes) September 10, 2012
Meyer thinks UCF is a very good team that will win a lot of games this year and send some guys to the NFL.
— Brandon Castel (@BCastOZone) September 10, 2012
Meyer said OSU had "victory meal" last night, a new mandatory thing. IIRC, Meyer did that at the start at Florida but it dwindled over time

Meyer "We did not play good defense."
— John R. Kampf (@JKBuckeyes) September 10, 2012
"We get paid to score touchdowns, not kick field goals." -Meyer on he and his coaching staff.
— Kyle Rowland (@KyleRowland) September 10, 2012
Champion performers vs. UCF on D: John Simon, Hankins. On offense: Norwell, Evan Spencer, Devin Smith, Philly Brown.
— Brandon Castel (@BCastOZone) September 10, 2012
Philly Brown was the offensive player of the game. He graded out 95 percent, high for a WR, and Meyer said he was team's best play maker

Meyer not sure on the status of Jordan Hall. Said there's a chance he'll play this week.
— Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) September 10, 2012
Meyer said "I'm kinda jacked about coaching" the kickoff team.
— John R. Kampf (@JKBuckeyes) September 10, 2012
Meyer on Braxton's progression: "really good, really good, then what was that"
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
Bucks are down to preseason #3 and #4 RB. Unsure of Hall's status, is running today, will evaluate as week continues.

"Nate Williams would help on other side, counting on true freshman on other side of Simon" Meyer on rush, alluded to often dropping 8 rush 3
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
Update on Carlos Hyde: MCL sprain, did not swell. "fairly positive for as serious as MCL sprain, will not play this week."
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
On initial fourth down attempt failure was not scheme, but personnel error. Adjusted on second attempt.
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
On Braxton's load: "Some of carries result of errors at other position. We have a design play, miss 2 blocks instead of pitch gets whacked"
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
..."Not, here Braxton, 27 runs"
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
Meyer on Cal's defense: "It's not unsound, it's not normal.. We made errors against a tradition defense, that's our concern."
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
John Cooper, Meyer's birddog, says Cal has some "6/5" rated players on future pro projections. A "7" is a first-rounder.
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
Washington, Spence, Schutt, not issue on want to or trying hard, just freshman playing DLine. Will have learning/production issues.
— Land-Grant Holy Land (@Landgrant33) September 10, 2012
Players getting behind secondary, is not getting beat but lack of focus and discipline in not getting proper depth.
