Ohio State struggled to get going at the start of its game against visiting Maryland on Saturday, and former coach Urban Meyer was not at all impressed.
Meyer was at Ohio Stadium on Saturday as a member of FOX’s broadcast team. Despite the Buckeyes entering the game as a heavy favorite, the Terrapins jumped out to a 10-point lead in the first half.
Cameras caught Meyer scowling at his former team as it struggled in the first half against Maryland.

Just a few minutes later, cameras caught Meyer once again, this time straining to hear someone on his phone.
"I want to know who's on the other end of that call right now." - @Joelklatt 🤣

Almost instantly, online observers began adopting Meyer’s disappointed face and apparent call for help as a new meme.
The results were good.

Disappointed and concerned Urban Meyer joins several other memes that have been born this college football season, including buff Arch Manning and horrified Clemson fan.
The Buckeyes found their rhythm in the second half, scoring the final 27 points of the game on their way to a 37-17 victory over the Terps.
