Urban Meyer adds layer to Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, deems sign-stealing a 'tremendous advantage' | Sporting News

Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has stood firm on his thoughts regarding the Michigan sign-stealing scandal and how detrimental it is to college football.

Meyer, of course, has a personal vendetta against the Wolverines after years of dominance.

Having become an analyst over the last few years, Meyer has begun to let loose about Michigan than ever before.

Everybody needs to understand that when you say signals, there are only a couple signals you can get that fast in real time, Meyer said on "The Triple Option." Is it a run or a pass? Is that significant? Hell yeah it is its a tremendous advantage.

It changes the entire technique of your defensive front, linebackers.

The second everybody knows its a pass, thats a completely different story.

And then the whole right or left, if they know its a run to the right or run to the left.

And thats why I understand what the advantages are.

Meyer says the Wolverines should be stained for this saga regardless of what happens next.

Whether other coaches have done that before in the past ...

Ive never heard of this before.

A lot of this is to be determined on the surface, but is it a competitive advantage to know the signals of your opponents illegally? You got them illegally, Meyer said.

Of course it is.

Differences aside, both teams will meet Thanksgiving weekend to settle the score and possibly determine who plays in the Big Ten title game in December.
