Piece together the Buckeye season!
H.G.Wells wrote "War of the Worlds" and "The Time Machine." Let’s say we took that time machine and stepped into the future. We suddenly found it was Dec. 20<SUP>th</SUP>, 2005. Looking down on the kitchen table you find the program of the OSU-Mich***n game. Inside it has all the Buckeye stats and reviews of each player leading up to that game. What would be stats and glowing reviews of our starting players? Any surprise starters? Try to keep it realistic as possible! I will start the first one:
LT Alex Boone 6-8/296 -
Saw spot duty in his first three games, and then started at left tackle in the Iowa game. This allowed Rob Sims to move left guard opening up the OSU rushing attack and its first thousand yard rusher since Maurice Clarett"s 1,237 yards in the 2002 season. Alex has only allowed 2 sacks and has improved in each game this season. As well as his pass blocking has been it’s his run blocking that has drawn rave reviews. Asked if he was surprised in starting his first year as a freshman. Alex responded,"I can’t say I was surprised. With the support I have had here from the coaches and my teammates. They have really helped so much in what we have achieved this year."

Agree on Boone, maybe not game four though.
Eventually the 2005 starting OL could very well be:
LT Boone
LG Sims
OC Cordle
RG Mangold
RT Barton
With Rehring backing up at either tackle spot, Person, Mitchum, and Skinner being in the two-deep on the inside. Datish, Downing, and the rest will have a tough time staying in the two-deep.

Jamario O'Neal. I think this kid has serious potential at corner... and by midseason (with the big 3 tests other than Michigan out of the way) he could be starting opposite Youboty. It seems you can never have too many glenville kids on the field...
Dukes will be our #4 WR by the Michigan game... Lyons will give us a big WR option as our other #4 WR. Hall will play as well, but Dukes is clearly a special player and will breakout once he matures as a wr. Imagine the matchup problems with Dukes on their #4 CB, not to mention Ginn, Holmes and Gonzo all running routes with single coverage.
This is only going to make it easy for the QB draws that Tressel loves so mch...

LJB... just curious, why do you think Nick will move over? I see him staying at center. Unless I've missed something. I haven't been reading the football boards that much this off season.

part of it could be because cordle has been extremely impressive at C this spring and is pushing Mangold for time at that position...
