Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer had a crafty response to a wave of boos during his introduction to the Michigan crowd on the set of FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff."

After the Wolverine faithful showed their distaste for the Buckeye coaching legend outside Michigan Stadium during pregame coverage for The Game, Meyer stood up and turned to the crowd with a smirk and a salute.

Additionally, Meyer held up seven fingers and mouthed "seven wins" to remind Michigan fans about his perfect record against Michigan during his tenure as Ohio State's head coach.

From 2012 through 2018, Meyer never lost his annual game against the team up north, including a double-overtime victory in 2016 and a 62-39 win in his final year coaching in The Game.

After succeeding Meyer, Ohio State coach Ryan Day has a 1-4 record against Michigan and has lost the last four rivalry games.
