Hawk was probably the only person to ever single-handedly stop Young on a consistent basis.

I think what people saying here is pretty accurate. We need to beat Texas this year for sure. Had we beaten them last year, I think we could have gone undefeated. With a bye before the Penn State game (I think it was) we did not show up to play that game. We could have easily beat Penn State, especially if the game was at home. After watching the game last night, I saw Texas have problems against a defense that was nowhere near as good as ours was, but the problem with that is the fact that we lose a lot of our defense next year.

Provided we have a defense that is solid next year (maybe not as good) we should do fine since TS will be starting every game and has proven himself to be an excellent quarterback and true leader. I see Ohio State going down to Glendale next year for the NC, who else is with me!? Go Buckeye's.

Hawk was all over Young most of the night. Still, without our linebackers, it will be much harder to slow down Young on his home field if he returns...

I know our offense will be good next year but will our defense be able to play at the same level as this year. Holmes, Mangold and Sims are pretty much the only really good offensive players that are leaving. On defense there are about 6-8 good players and about 2 really good players leaving. This scares me a little bit. The only player i know stepping up next year will be #33(sorry i dont know how to spell his name). Does anyone else know who will start on defense next year?

I'm not saying we'll beat Texas or not BUT I happen to think that the defensive line next year will be better [and more deep] and will make up alot of the difference in the drop off from LB. With that said if a LB or two steps up and exceeds expectations [I think Freeman is going to be a BEAST] than we might not see much of a difference as you all think.

we have a really good d-line comimg back with the time of some younger players doing there turn to step up .Kudla lost is bad but, wilson,worthington,d'andrea and all the 2nd teamers coming back will cause a big time strength on or defense

All the lb'ers are young but, they all have the talent to be really good ones.
AT least we have that with some really good kids showing there stuff already and ready to play.
IT would really suck if we had to find some new recruits to be are starters with not ever playing on the field.

OSU IS A RELOADED SCHOOL ALREADY ,NOW ITS THE NEXT ONES TURNS TO BE THE NEXT GREAT PLAYERS

I tell you, I knew hawk and carpenter were going to be good but, as great as they have been just blew my mine. Those two talk up the youngerster like wilhelm talked them up and looked what happened

[BuckeyeFan824]

We very well could go undefeated next year.We're gonna have one of the best offenses in the country next year,and I don't think our defense is gonna drop off that bad.I think our biggest two games are Texas and Michigan.I think we can beat Texas,especially if Vince Young goes to the NFL...and I know we can beat TSUN,after 2006 Tressel will be 5-1 against those lowlife bastards up north.
