In college wrestling, Iowa is basically a gold standard that other programs use as a measuring stick. This, of course, is true for Ohio State, which has only beaten the Hawkeyes three times in the history of the sport.

Fortunately for the Buckeyes and head coach Tom Ryan, who delivered a colossal win against his alma mater three years ago, Urban Meyer is on hand for Ohio State's match against Iowa Sunday afternoon.

And if there's anyone who knows a thing or two about thriving in the underdog role, Meyer, whose fourth-ranked Buckeyes toppled Alabama Thursday night.
