ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Urban Meyer couldn't stand still during the national anthem. He fidgeted like a fighter waiting for the bell. He held his hand over his heart, but everything else moved. The anthem couldn't end soon enough.
About two hours later, when his Ohio State team scored one of its six touchdowns against Michigan, Meyer shadowboxed, throwing a right and then a left. After an "awful week," having absorbed a "kick to the stomach" from Michigan State, Meyer and his team got up off the mat and knocked out their biggest rival. The eighth-ranked Buckeyes are still the big bullies in this annual bout, rubbing Michigan's noses in the dirt during a 42-13 win.
