Sharing secrets: How did Ohio State, Oregon trade tips?

DALLAS – When Urban Meyer took a year off from coaching, he made a trip to Oregon to visit a friend – then-Ducks defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti – and to find out how Chip Kelly was running the show in Eugene.

The attention-grabbing promotion was the latest for an athletic department that is known for innovative marketing. Now the school’s academic side is joining in.

Just under a year after the Seminoles won the national championship on the same hallowed turf, Winston lived a nightmare against Oregon on Thursday.
