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! |

Re #56: I'd take Fritz over Murphy, and Scott over Fritz.

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. |

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. |

Sounds good, and appreciate the opinion. I like your reasoning behind Scott too, he was an absolute monster, and I might just have to bump him up for that #56 spot.
