Ohio State's Kurt Coleman is a true leader (14)
Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel agrees, and Coleman's teammates voted him most valuable player. Tressel says that leadership comes not from Coleman's team-leading five interceptions or his 64 tackles. Nor from the various honors that, with a win over Oregon in Friday's Rose Bowl, would make him the most accomplished player on the winningest senior class in school history.Those qualities, Tressel says, were forged not in on-field success but rather in tragedy, beginning eight months before his father's cancer was discovered."Adversity, in my experience, is probably one of the few things that makes you strong," Tressel said. "It's just the kind of person he's become."... 		Urban Meyer's timetable for return unknown (13)
During the Under Armour All-America Game, which airs at 11 a.m. on ESPN, Pahokee, Fla., receiver Chris Dunkley will announce his college choice. Dunkley has long been considered a lock to sign with the Gators, but the past week has cast some doubt on what once seemed certain. If Dunkley picks another school, it would signal that recruits have been truly affected by Meyer's status. If Dunkley chooses Florida, it would send a message that elite players still want to go to Florida. Machen probably won't be worried about Dunkley's decision. He believes the program will be fine because of the system Meyer has built. Even if Meyer never returned, Machen believes Florida fo... 		Defense (and its coaches) hit the honor roll with brilliant performance (12)
The kicker rotation worked out perfectly between Aaron Pettrey and Devin Barclay. After hitting the first extra point and then not coming back out for a while, teammates were asking Pettrey if he was hurt, but he explained that they'd probably be confused for a while. Pettrey handled extra points. Barclay handled kickoffs. Barclay handled field goals 40 yards and under and Pettrey handled anything longer. The result? Pettrey hit two extra points and a 45-yard field goal. Barclay hit field goals of 19, 30 and 38 yards. There were two very happy kickers in the locker room. The problems came on the kickoffs, though. Some of Barclay's kicks weren't very deep, and the coverage had...

Red Grange, RB, Illinois: A little before my time, but I like the sound of four touchdowns (95, 67, 56 and 44 yards) in 12 minutes against Michigan in 1924. 8 Tebow: The face of college football the last three years, and we haven't even talked about his impact off the field and the message of goodwill he works so hard to spread. 9.

Education fundamental to environmental protection and peace says Holy Father (10)

Pope Benedict XVI celebrated the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God in Mass on January 1, a day which also marks the 43rd World Day for Peace. In his homily, the Pontiff made an appeal for investment in education based on respect for the human being and, in turn, for the protection of the environment and peace in the world. The Pope’s message for the World Day for Peace 2010, "If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation," was presented in his homily on Friday at St. Peter’s Basilica. The Pope pointed to the revelation of the "Face of God" throughout Scripture and its manifestation in the birth of Christ as a point of meditation for bringing peace to the world. The Pontiff...
