Now that the All Tressel Era Polls are up and running, it's time to start working our way back....
So on to Round III: The All Earle the Pearl Team Poll
I've listed all of the starters from the beginning of the season during his tenure. I've also added any awards they received during their playing time and where they were drafted by the NFL.
There are too many players to list the entire offense in a single poll so I've split it into two groups...the Skill Positions & the Linemen (lumping the specialists with the linemen).
This poll is for the skill position players:
Note: We're going to switch things up a bit from the more recent era polls.
We're going to vote for two Running Backs and one extra Tight End OR Fullback (one or the other in addition to the original one each) but also only two Wide Receivers.
(We're slowly moving back to the era of jumbo formations and fewer receivers in the pattern folks!)
So vote for the following:
One Quarterback
Two Runningbacks
One Fullback
Two Wide receivers
One Tight End
One additional TE OR FB (So either two TE and one FB or two FB and one TE total)
That means you should cast a total of 8 votes.
Some players are listed at multiple positions due to being starters at different spots during their careers.
Players are listed alphabetically by last name.
Players who only spent one year under Coach Bruce are NOT included (So no Jim Laughlin, Mike Guess or Ken Fritz). That same criteria will be in placed for the other eras also (So Woody might lose a player or two as well
).
So without further adieu, the nominees:
