What has been wrong with our FB play?? They've done a solid job.. even guys like Tank, who dont look like they have an ounce of skills in them...

You can't really use Tank to support your argument, he supports the other side of the debate if you ask me. He's a walkon turned scholarship player by hard-nosed play & tremendous work ethic... not on Zach Boren's level as a prospect. When Tank was not blocking last fall, the FB play was average at best, imo... at least for the first 10 games or so.
Dionte Johnson arrived with tremendous pedigree (son of former
OSU great and NFL starting LB) & was even awarded the honor of captain, yet was not as effective as the strangely proportioned 'tank' if you ask me.

For those using the typical A.J. Hawk response.. IMO this kid doesnt display the agility, sideline to sideline ability, or quickness which AJ displayed in HS.. It's a myth that Hawk was a no name player.. he would have been a 4 star player if not for the injury he suffered..

You're ignoring the larger point, which is more than just one isolated case of hawk-andrea... some of
OSU's best players were complete nobodies in terms of recruiting visibility (Laurinaitis, Robiskie, Washington, Russell). Heck even Gholston was thought to be too much of a project by UM.
