There are several close calls in this group. #52, #55, #56. There are a couple of deserving guys for each of those.
I think I'll recommend changing #60 to Csuri, though. He was voted team MVP for the 1942 NC squad. How he didn't make the All-Big Ten team that year is a mystery. But I think the team MVP during a national championship season should give him the nod for that number.
Keep 'em coming, msj!

Added 2005 stats and made changes to the others to reflect the changes, also changed #60 to T Charles Csuri.
All lists are now up to date for the upcoming season.

Both.
It's hard to overlook the two All American recognitions, but Murph really wasn't that good. Fritz was a better OL in my opinion.
Scott was a versatile player and an integral part of one of the best defenses in Ohio State history, and of course a member of the 2002 national championship team.
Bottom line - all three are pretty close. |
