"The question I have is, do we have that dynamic player on offense?" said Meyer. "Where's the Ted Ginns of the world? Were they hiding [last] year? I hope we have those guys. That's a big concern of mine right now."

Using Ted Ginn as an example shows a certain awareness and appreciation for Ohio State's history.

It was disrespectful to Tennessee, which owns an impressive athletic tradition in its own right.

Urban Meyer, so far, has deliberately avoided any such digs at his predecessors.
