Abso[censored]inglutely! He wasn't even the best linebacker on his team in my opinion. I think Tatupu was better. Either way neither are close to A.J. Hawk. This will be shown in the NFL draft....next year!

agreed my thoughts exactly, I dont think he deserves it this year, but he'll have a bright future in the NFL and there aren't too many ppl right now in college football that I would take over Bush. |

I doubt Greene looks any worse to us than Krenzel looked to most non-bucks.
Sproles was the most disappointing in terms of his season, but I don't think it is his fault (like a Chad Henne vs. OSU, despite the pressure, he couldn't step up for his team). If you put Sproles on USC he'd be in NYC right now if he were switched with Bush. Bush may have done a little better, but only a little. It's hard to be a smaller playmaker if you have no passing or o-line.
I despise Benson. He deserves to be ignored for his heisman comment. But his situation would be like Pittman putting up those kind of numbers had we never brought Ginn in nor Smith. We had no balance and even if the blockers blocked well there were too many people looking for the predictable running from tressel. I respect his performance a lot this season. But I'm glad he's home watching the heisman show.
Most disappointing would have to be Kyle Orton. He was not supposed to be amazing, but seemed to be a tough favorite for the Heisman after trashing easy school after easy school. Then the guy just disappeared. It doesn't matter that he put his team in positions to win games, he gave up multiple game-losing fumbles. He has to get my vote for most overrated (without any stipulation about when they were first overrated).

Can't blame anyone for overhyping EJ he has perfect corner hips and great technique with good enough speed to be a star, he just hasn't panned out yet. I think he still has a good chance to be another great buckeye coner |

David Pollack is by far most overrated player in football. He has been living on his sophmore stats the last 2 seasons. I don't know how the hell he could have won the Lombardi and Bednarik. He didn't do anything last year or this year in the games I watched. Will Smith was twice the player Pollack is.

I'd rather have Mike Nugent on my team than any of the players previously mentioned.
