when 16 of the players in a particular class START games BEFORE their senior season that is something quite remarkable--and unprecedented in
OSU history.
Say what you want but Clarett, Troy Smith(coming off the heels of the greatest single game performance in UM-
OSU history), Holmes, Hawk, Carpenter, Pitcock, and Salley are all bona-fide college stars. Zwick, Sims, Mangold, Downing, Datish, Kudla, D'Andrea, Everett and Mitchell have all been multi-year starters(BEFORE THEIR SENIOR SEASON)---
their is NO comparison--to compare a class with three, four or five greats is laughable.
