5a. Keith Byars - a broken foot cost him a Heisman and the Buckeyes a shot at a national championship in 1985
5b. Eddie George - very productive in a very productive offense ... but a lot of guys would have shined in that situation
5c. Tim Spencer - his 3,553 yards ranks 3rd at OSU (behind Griffin and George), and his YPC (5.52) is identical to Eddie's.

I can't put Clarett on that list seeing him for only one season and seeing him cry on the sidelines during the Northwestern game. He is like school in the summer, No Class.
1. Archie
2. Eddie
3. Byers
4. Beanie
5. Smith
But we digress from the topic at hand.
