Urban Meyer expressed that he would never have allowed Texas to score during their recent game against Ohio State with just over a minute remaining. Meyer emphasized the importance of making defensive stops. After Texas reached the 1-yard line, OSU opted for a goal-line stand instead of permitting a touchdown, which could have allowed them more time for a comeback. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day acknowledged his regret over the decision, stating he would review the choice given the outcome. The Buckeyes faced significant pressure as they managed time and played without any timeouts during the final moments.
