BrutusBobcat,
I agree with your evaluations on all players.
To me, it's amazing how tOSU has received more negative publicity nationally for MoC than Nebraska did for Phillips.
Phillips scaled a wall to get to his girlfriend's 3rd floor apartment, physically assaulted her and dragged her down the stairway to the building's foyer. He was also trespassing in the apartment of teammate Scott Frost. Frost was an unknown frosh transfer in 1995, who later was the starting QB in their 1997 NC year (the one with the OT victory at Missouri after the kicked ball was called a TD on the last play of the game, and then the coaches gave Osborne a going-away NC after the bowl win over Tenn).
And of course in 1995 Osborne reinstated Phillips to the team, after 'agreeing with Phillips' that the woman was 'dragged down the stairs, and there were injuries'. At that point I lost all respect for Osborne.
