ATLANTA — There "wasn't much on the line" for Ohio State in last year's Rose Bowl. That's what sophomore Emeka Egbuka said during Tuesday's Peach Bowl press conference. He's right. That 48-45 comeback victory over Utah was more about the Buckeyes' future than it was about biting roses in Pasadena or reaching the 11-win mark.
