Retiring Ohio State coach Urban Meyer isn't easing out of the job just yet, not as long as there's one more game to win. Buckeyes players said this week that Meyer has been at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for every practice and is fully engaged in preparations for the Rose Bowl. As usual, he's still sweating the small stuff. That kind of intensity made him one of the greatest college coaches of all time, but it also hastened his exit from the game.

Work-in-progress Nebraska may be the tonic for what ails No. 8 Ohio State. The Buckeyes had had a bye week to stew over the improbable Oct. 20 loss to Purdue when their running game and defense were inexplicably absent. Nebraska is improving but will come into Ohio Stadium as a four-touchdown underdog. The Huskers are led by a freshman dual-threat quarterback and senior tailback that have help revive their running game. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete)
