I went with
Offensive line... 526 yards.. nuff said... but had Eflein been in here.. I would have given him consideration.. line did not miss a beat
Bosa - I think he was extremely disruptive today... more than his stats.. he seemed to be everywhere

Bosa was all over the field. But I noticed those throwback screens seemed to always go to his side. It looked like he wasn't keeping contain and over pursuing the QB. Especially on that last big play. That'll be cured with more experience though. This kid is going to be a dandy.

Hyde and Shazier.

Tough call between Braxton and Carlos on offense. I gotta go with Hyde- he set the tone and opened up everything else. A steady force. New The Game rushing record for Ohio State. Love this dude.

Defense- really liked Shazier coming alive the latter half of the game, but gets the game-saving bonus points.

Powell had the Most Valuable Play.

Hyde was the Most Valuable Player.

Hyde gashed the _ichigan D for more yards on the ground than any legendary Ohio State runningback that as come before him.

My original vote was for Braxton on O, but I'm changing it to the O Line.....

My original vote was for Braxton on O, but I'm changing it to the O Line.....

If that's the play I'm thinking of I remember Heuerman coming across and throwing a fantastic block to seal it. His defender isn't even in this picture yet, or it's 47 that's just coming into the frame.

My original vote was for Braxton on O, but I'm changing it to the O Line.....

I'm sticking with Braxton in an obviously losing cause here. He was able to keep that D honest with his passing and accounted for 5 touchdowns against scUM. How he only has 6 votes is beyond me.
