I'm pretty sure it was just seniors on the podium because they couldn't hold the whole team on there. There may have been some juniors as well, but I'm pretty sure it was just upperclassmen allowed on the podium, so they had to wait for MoC to come up for the interview. |

No one has mentioned that Clarett wasnt always 100% during some of the Big 10 season...
That said, Pittman just keeps getting better and better every week!

No it was the whole team. All of the starters and other guys were there. |

I did mention his injury problems throughout the season earlier in this thread(about a page back). And that Clarett did what he did as a freshman, and Pittman's doing what he's doing as a sophmore. |

Give me Pittman for 3or 4 years vs.Mo for one, Mo = me first..Pittman= team first. If Mo hadn't scored like Pittman he would've been all over TV and the papers whining. Who knows if Mo would have done anything after that first year..Where is he now???

I'll take Clarett, a NC and 3 years of Drama over a 9-2 season with heartbreaking drops against the 2 toughest teams we played (each by under a TD) any day of the week.
On the field, Clarett COMPLETELY outshined Pittman. Off the field, I'll take Pittman easily.
If MoC hadn't been a total headcase, it would like be tOSU and not USC breaking NCAA recordbooks.
All said - I'm thrilled to have Pittman on the team and he's one of my favorite players on this year's squad. I love the power north-south running and the wreckless disregard for personal wellbeing  |

Agree with TB2.
Pittman is a fine young player and will have a better career and someone we can all be proud of as a Buckeye.
Thats being said and trying to be 100% objective regardless of my personal feelings for certain people.....MoC was heads and shoulders better as a true frosh than Pittman is now as a Soph.
Anyone who forgets the change that came over the O and how different they looked in the few good drives he gave us vs scUM in 02 needs to go look at the game again. We lose that game without Clarett.
MoC was a game changing difference maker that simply doesn't come around all that often, Pittman is just a very good B10 football player. Absolutely not a knock on Pittman but there is a difference between All-American talent and All-B10 talent.

Whether by toting the rock or by being the head cheerleader on the sideline, Clarett provided the fire that helped to us to a title.

Oh, and Clarett was better. It's not really close when you consider the impact both have had. Antonio could be very good when his career has ended, but he's not on the same level right now.
