Urban Meyer's Buckeyes are making quite the run on the record book.
With Ohio State's 28–14 win over Minnesota Saturday night in Columbus, the Buckeyes notched their 29th-straight Big Ten regular season game, tying the national record for consecutive conference victories under the current landscape set by the great Florida State teams from 1992-95.
The win also moves Urban Meyer's regular season Big Ten record to a sterling 29–0, which, yeah, that's just nuts.
A road victory next Saturday against Illinois would be Ohio State's 30th-straight Big Ten regular season win, establishing a mark that will be a stretch for other programs to challenge.
