QB CJ Stroud (All B1G, 2022 B1G QB of the Year, All-American, NFL OROY, Houston Texans)

My only issue with this list would be Pryors pass to Ballard in the Rose Bowl when OSU already lead 19-17. It was essentially a jump ball into bracketed coverage in which Ballard bailed out Pryor. I would have Stroud’s final TD to JSN against Utah to break a 38-all tie ahead of that. I don’t think any other OSU QB on this list can make that throw, and I doubt any other OSU receiver other than JSN, Olave, or Michael Thomas could make that catch.
I think both Garrett Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. would also probably make that catch.

Embarrassment of riches.

God damn was Fields a monster. That's the QB we wasted.

The 2019 team is still the best buckeye team I've seen. #1 defense basically all year and also top 5 offense. Had Clemson dead and somehow lost. Such a wasted team.

2019 is what we need to shoot for. Heavy run team with very very opportunistic passing game throwing around 20 times a game.

"Somehow lost"? You always have to wonder how the game would have played out if the TD wasn't overturned.

...It can be argued that Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer had the fortune of going up against a ttun program plunging into a 20 year malaise...
Putting aside that Tressel and Meyer helped create that malaise, they both beat good-to-very-good Michigan teams. Sometimes emphatically, sometimes scratching it out. The '06 and '16 Michigan teams were approximately as good as the Michigan teams of the past two years, for example. Michigan's had quite a few teams during their malaise that were basically what they are now - good, solid teams that are fundamentally sound, don't make many mistakes, and don't have glaring weaknesses. And OSU either edged them or whipped them just about every time for 20 years, because OSU was just a little tougher, and had just a few more guys that they couldn't deal with. OSU losing to a good Michigan team is understandable. Losing by 20+ is not. I'm not yet in the "Day doesn't get it and needs to go now" camp, but something has been different in this game the past two years, and I think the difference is more with OSU than it is with Michigan.
