Urban Meyer Takes Subtle Shot at Sooners' Defense

If Ohio States' domination over Oklahoma wasn't demoralizing enough for Sooner fans, Buckeyes' coach Urban Meyer took some time to rub some salt in the wound with a subtle jab at OU's defense on Thursday.

Ohio State will square off with Indiana this Saturday, and when talking about the Hoosiers' defense on his call-in show, Meyer said they'll be the best defense the Buckeyes' have faced all season.

While the Hoosiers do rank No. 27 in the nation in total defense compared to OU at No. 46, Sooner fans still don't like being compared to an Indiana team that's combined record over the previous three seasons is 15-23.

Things won't get easier for the Oklahoma defense this Saturday against Texas, seeing the Sooners will be without star defensive lineman Charles Walker along with outside linebacker Will Johnson and inside linebacker Tay Evans.
