Gratitude for Shaun Wade showing up for an extra season, but afraid it’s cost him draft position. By the same token, Sermon and Fields have moved up I would think.

And Hilliard has played his way onto the board. With the adversity that young man has faced the easy thing, the thing most people would have done, would be to decide it was time to move on with his life. He isn't most people. He is special. And I for one am grateful for what he has done.

Sermon has definitely improved his draft position. However, I'd say Fields started the year at #2, #3, or #4 (depending on the need of the team drafting, etc.) and is still there. Barbie has always been and still is considered the #1 pick. I'll also add that several linebackers (Hilliard, Browning, Borland, and Werner) might have improved their draft position too. However, they may have just went from late round to mid round or from undrafted to drafted.

Just about everyone who played a major role on offense or defense earned champion honors for their performances in Ohio State's 49-28 win over Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Ohio State announced Monday that it named 24 champions – 12 on offense and another 12 on defense – for its historic victory over the Tigers in Friday's Sugar Bowl.

Every single starter on offense earned champion honors as players of the game Justin Fields and Trey Sermon were joined by wide receivers Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jameson Williams, tight ends Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert and the offensive line of Thayer Munford, Matthew Jones, Josh Myers, Wyatt Davis and Nicholas Petit-Frere.

Baron Browning, who split time at Sam linebacker with Justin Hilliard against Clemson, was the only starter on either side of the ball who didn't grade out as a champion. The entire starting defensive line of Jonathon Cooper, Tyreke Smith, Haskell Garrett and Tommy Togiai were named defensive players of the game while Hilliard and fellow linebackers Tuf Borland and Pete Werner also earned champion honors along with defensive backs Sevyn Banks, Shaun Wade, Marcus Williamson, Josh Proctor and Lathan Ransom.

Farrell, Cooper and Togiai continued their streaks of being named champions for all seven of Ohio State's games this season.

I believe you are going to see Pete pop up on a lot of GM's early draft boards. He does so many things really well.

Noticed that Hooker pretty much didnt play again... geez he's been off the field since his Indiana implosion but you have to admit the defense has looked a ton better. Giving up 400 yards isnt great obviously but you have to like we didnt give up a ton deep.

Holding Clemson to their worst offensive performance of the year is pretty great.

CLEMSON'S KRYPTONITE. We've been talking for days about how Ryan Day pounded Brent Venables' defense into the ground with his hurry-up offense on Friday night, but actually seeing it happen in real-time is a different kind of hilarious.

Ohio State was going so fast that Clemson had no time to get a signal and then get set, and on the rare occasion they did, they were in the completely wrong look anyway.

Venables was out coached? Say it isn’t so.

Do you know how hard it is when you don't know exactly what plays are being called? Day abused him with the tempo and subs.

Two years now Day has toyed with Venables... I tend to think now that we know what gives them trouble that'll be a pretty common occurrence.
