Greatest performance by a Buckeye in a losing effort?
Somebody asked me this the other day and I found it kind of tough. I would have to say Antoine Winfield against Michigan in 1997. Some of the tackles he had were simply amazing. Somebody told me that Winfield told Streets before the game that he wasn't going to catch any that day. He was right.

I'm sure there are others, but I don't want to think that hard. I'm going to go with AJ Hawk against Texas 2005.

Chris Carter vs. Alabama in the Kick Off Classic. Just another 20 seconds and he would have turned the game in OSU's favor. The Alabama DBs were hanging on him, and he still kept catching the ball. |

I think it was the '89 scUM game that Derek Isaman had double figures in tackles while playing with a broken thumb. That gets my vote.

Some love for the older guys who are so often forgotten on here:
1986 Chris Spielman vs scUM
29 total tackles
1978 Tom Cousineau vs PSU
29 total tackles
1978 Tom Cousineau vs SMU (tie not a loss)
28 total tackles-16 solo which is also an OSU record.
1981 Art Schlichter vs FSU
458 yds passing
412 yds total offense
both OSU records
1997 Joe Germaine vs PSU (already mentioned by Tibs)
388 yds total offense
378 yds passing
Winfields effort vs scUM in 1997 has to be on this list as well.

I'm going to go with one of my favorite performances by an OSU player:
After a much maligned (and heavily criticized) career, coming back from an arrest on drunken driving charges, suspension, and benched in the 1st Half, Steve Bellisari comes off the bench to lead the Buckeyes back from a 28-0 defecit in his last game to what should've been the biggest comeback in Bowl history at the 2002 Outback Bowl vs. South Carolina.
Stevie B. ran for a TD, threw for 2 more, and was 21 for 35 in the air for an OSU Bowl record 320 yards.
With 3:56 left to play in the 4th at the OSU 11, Number 8 went 6 for 6 for 86 yards, drove the team right down the field and tied the game with a 9 yard strike to Darnell Sanders.
After that, the biggest travesty in collegiate officiating occured, and I can't bear to rehash it.
But my vote goes to Bellisari .. |

joe germaine vrs fsu. there were several times during that game i honestly thought there was no way on earth he was going to get back up. he kept us in the game in a big way.
the aj hawk and speils votes are definitely solid ones as well. but i think joe would get my vote.
