Healthy and refreshed after year away, Meyer set to revive Buckeyes

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- What was the best for Urban Meyer? Not what is best for the reborn coach. That decision -- The Decision -- has been made. For better or worse he's back. At this moment in his Ohio State office, it's not about the health issues -- the long-term well-being of the driven 47-year-old. It's not even about the relative comfort of taking over here in his native state at an entrenched powerhouse.

If his coaching magic holds, Ohio State could become a modern version of Auburn, 1993. Those Tigers were undefeated but banned by the NCAA from postseason (and television) that season. Ohio State's penalty could invite similar awkwardness in the Big Ten. USC's absence from the first Pac-12 championship game due to NCAA sanctions forced an undeserving UCLA to play an uncompetitive game against Oregon.

 

But if there are only five programs in the country that can survive the tsunami of Tattoogate, Ohio State is one of them. Fans can't wait to see how Meyer's offensive expertise is applied to sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller. Super recruit Noah Spence, a defensive end, could be the cornerstone of another great defense.

I usually don't hope for someone to fail. But I'd sure like to see this guy stumble a bit.

We'll find out soon enough.

I'm curious as to who the other four of the five teams that could withstand Tattoogate are.

USC, LSU, Bama.....and..?

Texas, USC, Alabama, Michigan, and I don't know.
