| 0:49.9 | We are taping this Monday morning right after a about an hour long Urban Meyer press conference |
| 0:57.4 | where he fielded a lot of questions regarding this whole Zach Smith investigation and all things |
| 1:05.6 | around it do I watch the whole thing on Big Ten network I know you didn't get a chance to see the |
| 1:10.7 | beginning of it there's a lot we can get through here on this. But really, there's one thing I want to start with. Where do you see Urban Myers' credibility in the wake of all this?
