Whens the last time our football team was the subject of a feature article in the WSJ?
In recognition of his standout performances since camp opened, Webb’s coaches removed a thick dark stripe from the middle of his helmet, signaling that he was now considered an official member of his new team.
To those who follow the Buckeyes, this may not sound like a noteworthy development. Ever since Urban Meyer arrived in Columbus in 2012, newcomers to the program have had to go through this same rite of passage.
But in this instance, there was one important difference: Webb doesn’t actually play for Ohio State. He wasn’t in Columbus and the coach performing the ceremony wasn’t Meyer, who led the Buckeyes to the national championship last season. It was Tom Herman, a former Ohio State assistant, and now head coach at the University of Houston.
“People can say that I’m just copying Urban Meyer,” Herman said. “You’re damn right I’m copying Urban Meyer!”
