I'm still freaking out on the thin numbers at linebacker. What's the future look like there?

Just hurts that they took a bath with the '12 class...Williams has been slow to develop and I'm not sure he ever will, Perkins left (bet he's kicking himself now) and Roberts was a Fickell-level recruit. Perry was the only serviceable LB out of that class and he has been injured most of the season.

In '11 you had Shaizer, Grant (who's taken a while to come around and has been hurt) and Crowell, who is gone. And in '10 you had McVey, Durham and Turner, none of whom are still playing football.

So in three classes you had three OSU-caliber LBs and two of them have been hurt much of this year. That is unacceptable and I doubt we see it again. LB seems to be the one position that did not survive the Tressel-Fickell-Meyer transition as well as some others.
