For this, the most unpredictable of college seasons. that would be LSU; thanks to an Ohio State meltdown · that was strikingly similar to the one that occurred a year ago in Arizsma. The opponents were different and so were the dome>c, but In the end Monday night, this one felt as if we had all been here before . This time, quickness wasn't the issue. Execution was; despite the best efforts of Jim Tressel to keep his Buckeyes focused in the Big Easy and keep an inherited No. I ranking that always seemed as shaky as the Ohio State passing game. Blame it on a cupcake schedule or on a conference that simply wasn't as good as most people thought. Blame it on a crisp game plan executed by Les Miles and his staff or on too many glaring coverage mistakes by the Ohio State secondary. Those looking for deeper reasons might even blame it on a video that had to be even more depressing to Ohio State players than having to stay in their rooms all week in this party town. Tressel passed out a .copy of it to every player as a gift just before Christmas. and it was met with less than rave reviews with good reason. lt included scenes of last year 's blowout lo ss to Rorida along with commentary by television analysts around the nation saying the Buckeyes were · too slow, didn't deserve their ranking. and were lucky they had academics to fall back on. It was supposed to instill and us-against-them attitude, a tactic favored by coaches from the days of Knute Rockne. Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, it became a selffulfilling prophecy. Last year they scored on the opening kickoff only to get blown out by Florida. This year they jumped to a quick I 0-0 lead only to watch the Tigers score the next 31 points. .· . Even worse. LSU beat Ohio State at its own game, running Jacob Hester up the middle and having Matt Flynn throw conservative short routes. The Buckeyes boasted the best defense in the country coming into the · game, but LSU converted eight of 10 third down situalions in the first half and barely broke a sweat in scor- ing 38 points. "Third down is the biggest down in football," Ohio State defensive en'd Vernon Gholston said. "They just seemed to execute well." . It's little wonder Michigan wanted Miles to come to Ann Arbor and take on the task of beating Ohio State. He managed to do it rather handily without ev.er leaving Louisiana, triggering a clause in his contract at the sanw time that could be wor.th more than $3.5 million over the next few ye3fS. "Very humbly (LSU is) one of the great programs in college football," Miles said while celebrating his first national title. "It's a great place to get an education, great place I\) win a championship." . It's also a great place to celebrate a championship, something the Tiger fans, who outnumbered Ohio State supporters by a 2-1 margin, got a head start on long before they got to Bourbon Street. LSU came ·to this game with issues of · its own, including two · overtime losses that in most seasons would be enough to relegate them to' a lesser bowl. However, the Tigers eliminated any pretel)ders to the crown in a dominating per- . formance that had to be making the people who run the convoluted BCS system a lot happier. and Georgia had their moment to crow with big wins last week, but the ease with which LSU won left no doubt in this crazy college year. "My team is the No. I team ·in the land," Glenn Dorsey said. "Right now it's great to be an LSU Tiger. I love it." Tre ssel wasn't going to argue with that, even though for the second straight year he had to explain why hi s team wasn't competitive when it counted the most. He struggled to do that almost as badly as his team struggled on the field. "We just didn't do the things you need to do to win a ball game of this nature. We're very aware that LSU's a deserving champion," he said. "That was a tough football game, very demanding. I'm sure there were moments we weren 't perfectly on queue like we ought to be." Tressel will find those moments when he watches the game again, and another horror film unfolds. At least this time he'll have the feeling he's seen it all before.

Some guys know how to win. Make that 56 victories and two BCS titles fo( the LSU senior class, counting back to the 2003 season when players . like quarterback Man Rynn and defensive end Kirston Pittman joined the program. It's probably no coincidence that a team· with veteran leadership from Jacob Hester and Early Doucet, who both scored touchdowns, didn't crack after falling into an early 10-0 · hole in Monday's :lS-24 win over Ohio State in the BCS national championship game. ·LSU had fought its way out of tough spots all season. There was a comeback victory over Rorida involving a winning drive tlJat included two fourth-and-short conversions by Hester, then finished with Hester's punishing TD run on third-and-goal. There was Flynn's 22-yard pass to Demetrius Byrdthat lifted the Tigers over Auburn with on! y one second remainmg. LSU was down 27-17 at Alabama late in the third quarter before outscoting the Tide 24-7 the rest of the way in yet another comeback victory. By . comparison to those nail-biters, they made this one look easy. On Monday, Flynn threw for 174 yards and four touchdowns. the · third to Doucet, who made one tackler miss and shook off two others to get in from 4 yards, making it 31-10 in the third quarter. Hester finished with 86 yards and powered his way in for a second-effort touchdown from a yard out in the second quarter.· That score capped a drive that started when senior cornerback Chevis Jackson intercepted Todd Boeckma.n's pass at the LS U 42 and returned it 34 yards to the Buckeyes 24. ·The key play from there was Rynn finding tight end Richard Dickson, who fought his way to the I. Then there's Pittman, who played in the Sugar Bowl victory over Oklahoma that helped LSU finish its 2003 season with a BCS title. His sack of Boeckman forced Ohio State, then down 31 c 17 and trying to stay in the game, into a fourth-and-7 at the LSU 34.

His fourthquarter sack helped thwart another Ohio State drive. DALLAS (AP)- Staying at Hawaii would have been the easy choice for June Jones. It was· the challenge of rebuilding a tattered football program that led him to take the coaching job at Southern Methodist, which stumbled to a I- ll record this season. · "Where you are now ·excites me because the only way is up, and I am good at going up," Jones said Monday. The introduction of Jones at a booster-packed press the conference ended nation's longest college coaching search this year. It had been 70 days since Phil Bennett was dismissed with four games left in the season. School officials hope Jones can bring some of Hawaii's run-and-shoot magic, which produced 431 points per game, an unde• feated regular season and a BCS bowl berth this year. They were also · impressed by Jones' ability to resuscitate Hawaii, which went 012 before he arrived in 1999 and won nine games. Jones' decision to leave Hawaii came after an extraordinary bidding war that even involved the governor of Hawaii. Leigh Steinberg, Jones' agent, said the coach accepted a five-year deal worth about '$2 million per year. He said Hawaii offered about $1.6 million per year. "In 30 ~ears representing athletes, I ve never seen the emotional . reaction from a state like Hawaii," Steinberg said. "There was a flood of e-rnails and calls exhorting him to stay." Besides more money. Jones will be in the middle of the rich Texas recruiting base, and he'll get better facilities. SMU recently built a new brick-faced stadium and a modern training center. · "There's absolutely no comparison," Jones said. At Hawaii, "the office that I sat in was the same office that Dick Tomey used in 1986. The carpet was the same ... You 're talking about the NFL and a Pop Warner team.,, A handful of SMU players met Jones after Monday's press conference. The coach said he had watched tape of some SMU games and the Mustangs were "close to turning the· corner.',' But he declined to predtct how many games they'll win next season. Jones would have faced a rebuilding process even had he stayed at Hawaii. The Warriors ' who suffered a41. . 10 thrashing by Georgta m the Sugar Bowl, will lose quarterback Colt Brennan, who finished third in the He'isman voting, and leading ·receiver Davone Bess, who is skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft. Still, the Warriors are the only football show in Honolulu, which helped turn Jones and Brennan into celebrities in paradise. · By contrast, SMU is nearly invisible in the area, overshadowed by the Dallas Cowboys and better college programs at· Texas, Texas A&M, Texas-Tech and TCU. The Mustangs play in Conference USA, which according to popular power ratings is even we*-er than Hawaii's league, the Western Athletic Conference. Jones said, however, that recruiting for SMU will be easier than at Hawaii, where distance made mainland parents reluctant to send their kids. He added that many Texas high schools now run spread offenses featuring the passing .game, just like his run-and-shoot. "It'll be fun to watch, and we'll attract the players to come play in our offense," he said. "I know there are a lot of players within 30 miles of Ibis campus." ·Jones, who turns 55 next month, had a record of 7541 with Hawaii, including42 in bowl games. His teams finished first in the WAC twice and second two other times. He went to Hawaii after 12 years in the NFL, including stints as head coach at Atlanta and San Oiego.

Coach Jim Tressel was not with the team, which tinished No. 5 in the final Associated Press poll after being ranked first going into the game. He had to go to a coaching convention after the game, according to Ohio State officials. Equally glum were the fans. Glen Cook and his Ityear-old son Joey, who came to see the team arrive at Rickenbacker, said they had planned to celebrate Tuesday, until Ohio State lost. Cook, who works at Wai-Mart's distribution center in Grove City, took the day off work a month ago, intending to spend it "going out to breakfast and gloating " !~stead, Cook and his son . · came to watch the team shuftle past and, hopefully, get a few autographs.

Buckeyes are head cases after another lopsided loss in title gam~ BY RusTY MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS Sometimes a coach ne~ds a . couch more than a wh'rstle. That may be the conundrum for Ohio State's Jim Tressel as he tries to rebuild his Buckeyes' tattered psyches heading into the 2008 season. . ~he Buckeyes lost most of the1r stars from a top-ranked team that hag b~en ~altered 41-1,4 by Flonda m last year s BCS champu:~nshlp . Sttll, Tressel reconfigured the personn~l a~d . the Buckeyes flicked astde a soft schedule to return to the biggest game of them all.. It was a remarkable achievement. However, Monday night's devastating 38-24 loss to LSU may require a longer recovery period. Following the Joss, wide receiver Brian Hartline hinted at that when he said: "Personally, I feel it was a great season for us. First off, to have the opportunity . whether we deserved it or not - to come back to the national championship game is always an honor. You know, we don't vote for us." That phrase "whether we deserved it or not" shows the Buckeyes have just about hit rock bottom in tenns of confidence. · It goes without saying, the national perspective today is the Buckeyes did not belong in the game and they obvi- ously aren 't compettuve with the top teams in the land, or at least the ones from the Southeastern Conference. They sank from No. 1 to No. 5, in the final Associated Press rankings. So, while Tressel works at filling out his two-deep roster this spring, he might also want to wheel out a couch so he can analyze his players' damaged self-worth. , Because, until he can get their heads back in the game, it may not matter how much talent they put on the field. Yes, there will be plenty of talent, even if several players migrate early to the NFL. H r • .h · ees a arrowwg thought for all those Buckeyes. . detractors out there: Th1s team has. good enough play~rs to make.

"We have to go out there and play our game. We didn't make the plays when we had to and that's disappointing to us. We just have to look forward to next year and hopefully bounce back."

Page 86 • The Daily Sentinel Wednesday, January 9, 2008 www.mrdailysentinel.com Joe Gibbs resigns as coach ofW~hington Re~skins after four years BY JosEPH WHITE ASSOCIATED PRESS ASHBURN, Va. - After the toughest season of his Hall of Fame career, Joe Gibbs knew he needed to walk away from his Washington Redskins family to be closer to his wife, chi Idren .atid grandchildren. He resigned as coach and team president of the Redskins on Tuesday, three .days after a playoff loss ended an inspirational lateseason run that followed the death of safety Sean Taylor. The 67-year-old Gibbs said Redskins owner Dan Snyder tried to persuade him to stay on during a con versation that lasted until about 2:30a.m. Tuesday. "My family situation being what it is right now, I told him I couldn' t make the kind of commitment I needed to make," Gibbs said during a news conference at the Redskins' practice facility, standing a few feet from the three silver Super Bow I trophies he won during his first tenure with the team. Spe.aking about bis family, Gibbs added: "I felt like they needed me.'' Gibbs did not go into specifics. But one of his grandsons, Taylor, was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago at age 2. Gibbs frequently talks lovingly about his "grandbabies," and he made an overnight ttip to Nonh Carolina on Sunday to be with his family, interrupting the postseason routine of meetings that usually follow the final game of the season. "I had real good visiis with everybody, and at that point when I staned back to D.C. and got on the plane that afternoon, I kind of had a real strong feeling in my hean of what I . felt like I should do," Gibbs said. He had one season left on the five-year, $27.5 million deal that lured him out of his first NFL retirement and away fn;>m his second career as a NASCAR owner. Now, instead of coachi!Jg, Gibbs will shift into a-role as an adviser to Snyder, saying: " I feel like this is my home, also." , · "I tried very, very hard to try to convince Joe not to retire," the owner said. "This est season, making reference Bills from 2001-03, but has the Redskins lost 35-14 at is something none of us to Taylor's shooting in put together solid defenses Seattle. wanted to see happen.

'• ·Colts safety Bob Sanders named NFL Defensive Player ofYe.ar BY MICHAEL MAROT ASSOCIATED PRESS ·INDIANAPOLIS - Bob Sanders wants to redefine the role of NFL safeties. He thinks they should cover receivers deep, lock up tight ends and running backs in man-to-man coverage; be versatile enough to play in nickel packages, stuff the run, and, yes, still carry that old, big-hitting label. A few more seasons like 2007 could turn Sanders into the league' s newest trendsetter. On Monday, Sanders was rewarded for his do-it-all style by becoming the first Colts' player to earn the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. "I think the league. is beginning to reco~nize that safeties are very Important to a good defense," Sanders said. "I think I'm only the fourth safety to ever win this award, and it's an aw.esome feeling to be in Ed Reed's shoes." · Reed, the 2004 honoree, was the last safety to win the award, and Sanders and Reed are the only safeties to win it since Seattle's Kenny Easley in 1984. Miami's Dick Anderson also won the award in 1973. The voting wasn't close. Less than two weeks after becoming the league's highest-J?aid safety, Sanders recetved 31 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL, easily outdistancing Seattle end Patrick Kerney and Tennessee tackle Albert Haynesworth . Kerney and Hayneswonh each got four votes. Sanders established career-highs in tackles (132 ), sacks (3 l/2) and interceptions (two) and became the uncontested leader in Indy's impressive defensive turnaround when three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney went down with a seasonending foot injury in midNovember. As opponents found out, Sanders never slowed down. dreamed of. playing running "He is a lot like Donnie back until his sophomore Shell and John Lynch," season at Iowa.
