A Veteran Team Fresh Off a National Title, Ohio State Coaches Preaching Effort, Consistency In Early Stages of Fall Camp

Urban Meyer knows all about trying to win again after reaching the pinnacle of college football. He did it twice at Florida, with the pressure of following through on a second national title driving him ill, ending with a hospital visit and ultimately early retirement.

You know the story. Meyer stepped away from coaching for a year to work as an ESPN analyst before heeding a phone call from Ohio State Director of Athletics Gene Smith and accepting the head coaching position at the place where he got his start in college coaching under Earle Bruce.

Three years later, the Buckeyes took home the first-ever national championship of the Playoff era.
