GLADIATOR SPORT: They call it the "Circle Drill," and the winner is he who physically dominates thou opponent.
Gathered at midfield before the game, Meyer officiated a series of crowd-stirring mano-a-mano battles, including standout defensive lineman John Simon against left tackle Jack Mewhort. The pair lunged out of their crouch and collided violently, but neither budged more than a couple of steps. Meyer gave the edge to Mewhort.
"Oh man, it was crazy," said Mewhort, a St. John's graduate. "When [Meyer] called John Simon, the next name I knew coming was me. So it was really cool. It was a great way to start the day, and I think the fans loved it."
Even the quarterbacks saw action, with backup Kenny Guiton making quick work of starter Braxton Miller.
"I just wanted some good energy in there," Meyer said. "Our quarterbacks, like anybody else, they've got to put their nose on people. You have to be very careful and very smart, and sometimes I'm accused of neither. But it was fun for the fans, and I know that our players came out of their shoes when we did that."
As for any hard feelings, Miller laughed at the suggestion.
"We're good friends," he said. "Just competing. No problems."
