COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer was “very disappointed” that Evan Spencer broke one of the Buckeyes’ rules about speaking in public, so it’ll be a while before anybody hears from the receiver again.
Spencer on Monday said the No. 3 Buckeyes would “wipe the field with both of them” — referring to No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Florida State. Spencer later apologized on Twitter, stressing that he’s clearly biased.
Meyer made it clear he didn’t approve of the message and doesn’t want it happening again.
“I’m very disappointed, I can’t stand that,” Meyer said during the Big Ten teleconference Tuesday. “Our players are taught [not to do that], and I know Evan well enough and I even talked to him briefly and he was kind of smiling the way he said it. But, no, I can’t stand it.
“He’s certainly not the spokesman for our team. As a result, Evan won’t talk to the media for a long, long time. You don’t do that. It’s not good sportsmanship, and that’s not what we expect. … Talk about your teammates, talk about the team and move on.”
