Meyer and Hoke give Michigan-Ohio St. a new feel

College Football » A little chippiness returns to an old rivalry

< Previous Page

Devin Gardner has started the last three games, accounting for at least three TDs in each, since four-year star Denard Robinson hurt a nerve in his throwing elbow. Now Robinson may see time at tailback, in the slot, out wide or even under center. It’s the biggest mystery in a game where there are few unknowns.

"I’m here and I’m ready for Ohio," Robinson said.

Hayes once co-wrote a book titled, "You Win With People." He believed that it was the coach’s domain to stockpile talent and then put players in the best position to win, but that the athletes did the rest.

Meyer believes coaches handle the preparation and set the tone.

"Getting your guys prepared up to the kickoff, getting the team mentally and physically ready to go," he said of his role. "Ultimately it is the players who win or lose games."

Spoken just like his iconic predecessors.
