Sock is a big fan of Mr.Young. He is sock's heisman winner. Sock remembers when Larry Fitzgerald was robbed of heisman because he was a wide receiver. He was the best player that year. The heisman has always went to a QB and RB except for 2 wide receivers and Woodson. It's time to break that mold and start awarding defensive players that dominate games like Suh and Young.

Love this line from Thamel's piece:

And that’s precisely what makes Young swallowing whole the Wisconsin offense so impressive on Saturday, in what I’ll remember as the single most dominant defensive performance I’ve witnessed in 16 seasons covering national college football. His mugging of Wisconsin took the program’s singular identity and bull-rushed it into oblivion.

Chase Young is the best defensive player in the country and deserves to be in the Heisman discussion.

I mean, we already knew this, but for those unwashed outside of Buckeye Nation, they most certainly learned it on Saturday. Young went for six tackles, five of which were for loss, including four sacks and two forced fumbles. The junior end was undoubtedly the most dominate player on the field when OSU’s defense squared off with Wisconsin’s offense.

His ability to combine his speed and strength with incredible technique — as Urban Meyer explained in the pregame — makes him an absolutely frightening force coming from the outside. He is so frightening, in fact, that Wisconsin quarterback Jack Coan decided that he would rather take a seat than to allow himself to be obliterated by The Predator.



Early in the game, Young also showed his versatility as he occasionally lined up at linebacker and just picked which hole he wanted to rush through. While it is practically an inevitability that the 2019 Heisman Trophy will go to a quarterback — Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, or Tua Tagovailoa if he comes back healthy — but when every objective observer declares that Young is the best player in the country, it should at least warrant an invitation to New York.



Young leads the country with 13.5 sacks, and is a half sack away from breaking Vernon Gholston’s single-season program record, and just 8.5 behind Mike Vrabel’s career record of 36; which is especially bonkers, considering that Young is only in his third — and almost certainly final — season with the Buckeyes.

The question is, will it be enough to warrant national consideration for the top individual prize in sports? One way that he could guarantee national attention is if he stays on pace to challenge Terrell Suggs’ single-season college football record of 24 sacks, which he set in 2004.

Currently, Young is on pace to deliver 20.25 sacks in the regular season, 23.625 including the Big Ten Championship game and a single bowl, and 25.3125 should Ohio State make the national championship game.

When you consider the fact that Young has played sparingly in the second half thus far in 2019, those numbers are even more impressive.
