TSUN at tOSU (ov/un 54.5) Sat noon, ABC

Staying focused

Meyer and his coaches are burning electricity this week because they want to finish this season with a victory. It would be only the sixth undefeated, untied year in OSU football history, and the second in 11 years as a coach for Meyer. He won two national titles at Florida in 2006 and 2008, but his only perfect season came at Utah in 2004.

?You saw last week with Kansas State (losing to Baylor) and Oregon (losing to Stanford), that it?s hard to do,? Meyer said. ?It?s a credit to a bunch of players and assistant coaches that keep that focus.?

He said he cherishes the time with his coaches and players this week because those are hours when distractions can be blocked and serious work can be done.

?Once you leave here, who knows what?s being said?? Meyer said, referring to the sometimes ?nonsense? type conversations players are struck with by friends, family, etc., as the big challenge looms.
?I?m sure that?s what happened in some of those programs? that lost last week, Meyer said. ?Plus, they played good teams. It?s such a credit to this team to be in the position they?re in. It?s hard. It?s real hard.?

The Buckeyes will practice about 9 this morning before staging the annual senior tackle, closed to the public, at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Players whose families live within reasonable driving distance will be given permission to go home for Thanksgiving dinner. The others will be allowed to have dinner at teammates’ homes or at their position coaches’ homes, among their options, a team representative said.
