It had been nine years since Ohio State played in its last Rose Bowl. Two tumultuous years later, the Buckeyes hired Urban Meyer to lead them back to the heights Jim Tressel had in the 2000s, and now one of college football’s most storied programs is on the verge of another monumental change. The 28–23 victory over Washington, the Pac-12 champion that looked completely overmatched in the face of the Buckeyes, was Urban Meyer’s final game as Ohio State’s coach, and his final game ever on a sideline, he maintains. After the game, Meyer reinforced his retirement, telling ESPN that he doesn’t believe he will coach again.
