Most Underrated Buckeye?

Since this is in the football forum, I'm going to assume you're talking about football players. Regardless, I'm going to put my vote for whats-his-name Terwilligger (or however it's spelled). Yeah, I'm not the biggest basketball fan, so I don't know much about him. But whenever I actually watched a game, the guy looked like he wanted to win the game all by himself. He's diving for loose balls, he's attempting to rebound everything, getting fouled. And speaking of getting fouled, I loved the way he shot free throws. He had the expression like, "This is SOO boring!!"

Anyway, whenever I watched a game (again, not as often as I should), he'd get very little mention. Maybe rightfully so, but I liked the guy.

As far as this year's football team, I agree that Boom is showing that he was missed much more than anyone thought he would be. I'd imagine that if Ohio State had him to carry the ball up 27-6, with 22-1/2 minutes to go in the game, Nebraska would have had a lot higher hill to climb to get that game.

Just sayin': Another backup QB that deserves a mention too is Ron Maciejowski. If you never heard of him, here's a very good article:
