Ohio State Football Coaches Suit Up for Goal-Line Drills vs. Players

The Ohio State Buckeyes haven't played in over three weeks, and they still have plenty of time to prepare for their Fiesta Bowl clash against the Clemson Tigers on New Year's Eve. 

With such a long layover between action, the coaching staff broke the practice monotony by challenging the players to goal-line standoffs.

No, head coach Urban Meyer didn't put on the pads to butt heads with Mike Weber or Curtis Samuel. The participants included athletic trainer Tyler Deam and assistant strength coach Brady Collins, but Ryan Stamper stole the show.

The director of player development also happened to play linebacker for Meyer with the Florida Gators. To the players' astonishment, he stuffed freshman running backs Jordan Leasure and Antonio Williams.

Meyer, however, did not look surprised. "I told you, you don't want that," he said to his squad following Stamper's dominant display.
