Ohio State basketball legends Clark Kellogg and Michael Redd were OSU\u2019s Victory Bell ringers for its last two home games against Ohio (Kellogg) and Minnesota (Redd).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMeyer will be back at the Shoe on Saturday as part of FOX\u2019s Big Noon Kickoff, for which he is one of the analysts. It will be FOX\u2019s second time broadcasting Big Noon Saturday\u00a0from Ohio State this season along\u00a0with the season opener vs. Texas.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt also comes as\u00a0Meyer has been name-dropped as a speculative candidate for Penn State\u2019s head coaching vacancy over the last couple of weeks. Meyer has said several times since his stint with the NFL\u2019s Jacksonville Jaguars that he has no plans to return to coaching, however, and ringing the bell at Ohio Stadium on Saturday shows his allegiance still lies with the scarlet and gray.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMeyer went 6-1 against Penn State in his seven years coaching the Buckeyes, suffering his only loss to the Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium in 2016. Ohio State has won eight straight games against Penn State since.\n<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of Ohio State\u2019s most legendary coaches will be its next Victory Bell ringer.
