To kick off a week of preparation for the Big Ten championship game, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer and Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald took part in a teleconference Sunday.

Meyer spoke about the Buckeyes’ raucous upset of Michigan, Dwayne Haskins’ development, where his team still needs to improve and much more.

Fitzgerald laughed and said, “Everything,” when asked what concerns him most about the Buckeyes.

Ohio State is the defending Big Ten champion and aiming for its 38th conference title overall after upsetting Michigan in the regular season finale.

Northwestern is looking for its ninth Big Ten championship and first since 2000.

Fitzgerald was a star linebacker when the Wildcats last won an outright title in 1995.
