Chase Young is known to lead with his mouth. Being the loudest Buckeye on the field is part of the reason his teammates elected him a captain this season. The other part is that he can back it up the chattering. Young is Ohio State’s best player, a 6-foot-5, 265-pound man with startling quickness and a mean streak who rarely stops cheering, cajoling and trash-talking. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete, File)

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.
