TBBC Awards: Sparty
WVaBuckeye via our good friends at Buckeye Battle Cry
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
Even though it has been quite some time since we did an awards after the Buckeyes lost a game, there have been times that we were just too disappointed in their play to give much of an effort to find the silver lining. The gang does their best this week as we gear up for TTUN.

Offensive
tOSU Offensive MVP
Joe –
Ken – J.T. not much to choose from
Patrick – J.T. I guess, he’s the only productive player by default.
Scott – Nobody really earned it.
JC – No one. I say hold the MVP award & double it up for next week.
Brandon – Zeke, I guess. At least he scored a TD.
Michael – none. None are worthy
WVa – It’s been the most difficult time for me deciding on someone in this category. I am going with Ezekiel this week
JT and Ezekiel tie on a week when nobody really was the MVP
tOSU O-line MVP
Joe –
Ken – Decker & Price threw a couple good blocks. But, when you only run 45 plays…
Patrick – no one
Scott – Seriously?
JC – Price. I watched him (for some reason) he was effective (& then ineffective) but so was everyone else. I will go with Price.
Brandon – Freshman walk-on Blake Pfenning. He looked pretty awesome that one time the camera came in from the sidelines over his head.
Michael – none. See above
WVa – Didn’t appear to be an effort by the line to open anything for Ezekiel when he did run or JT. nobody here
Billy Price wins just for his effort
tOSU Offensive Top Play
Joe –
Ken – Marshall’s TD catch looked pretty good
Patrick – Marshall’s one handed TD catch.
Scott – Running up the middle. Seemed to do that a lot. Oh wait, Marshall’s TD catch.
JC – Jalin Marshall’s catch for 6.
Brandon – Apparently QB draw…
Michael – Marshalls TD catch
WVa – Jalin Marshall’s catch for the score
Jalin Marshall wins hands down
tOSU Offensive Unsung
Joe –
Ken – Elliott, only because we rarely saw him
Patrick – Zeke
Scott – Nick Vannett. Worked his ass off in final home game.
JC – Mike Thomas. It is a shame he was not displayed more.
Brandon – Anyone but Barrett went pretty unnoticed.
Michael – Thomas. Shame was probably his last game in the shoe
WVa – Michael Thomas was unsung this week in several ways, see above.
Michael Thomas has become the total package at WR
Defensive
tOSU Defensive MVP
Joe –
Ken – The linebackers made a lot of plays
Patrick – I’m giving the entire group this award. Kept the Buckeyes in the game but we’re just on the field too long.
Scott – Whole unit. Giggity.
JC – Perry & Raekwon. Not Bosa.
Brandon – Josh Perry and Raekwon McMillan, both seemed to be in on every play.
Michael – Perry. Was everywhere
WVa – Joshua Perry played the game of his life.
Joshua Perry left all of his best highlights for Saturday
tOSU D-line MVP
Joe –
Ken – Adolphus Washington – He went out playing the game as it should be played
Patrick – Adolphus Washington
Scott – Adolphus Washington. He was a stud.
JC – Adolphus Washington. Michael you are right …. He will be missed.
Brandon – I’ll go with Hubbard even though he played maybe one snap after causing the fumble
Michael – Washington. Will miss him
WVa – Adolphus Washington gave the Buckeyes a fighting chance
Washington wins
tOSU Defensive Top Play
Joe –
Ken – anytime they stayed onside
Patrick – nothing sticks out in my mind
Scott – I like Ken’s answer.
JC – Hubbard was the best play … had me on my feet.
Brandon – Hubbard sack and caused fumble
Michael – the one play no one was offsides
WVa – Hubbard’s play was shades of Darrion Scott. One of the hardest hits all season
Sam Hubbard wins this week
tOSU Defensive Unsung
Joe –
Ken – Jalyn Holmes/Tyquan Lewis – pretty solid games by these gentlemen
Patrick – Tyquan Lewis
Scott – Tyquan Lewis. Good effort.
JC – Lewis. He was in it to win it.
Brandon – Holmes. He made a few very nice plays against the run.
Michael – Lewis. Solid game
WVa – Number 59 has really stepped up his game and rarely gets real credit for being the reason teams cannot afford to double Bosa and Washington anymore
Tyquan Lewis is clearly loved by TBBC
Odds and Ends
tOSU Special Teams MVP
Joe –
Ken – Terry McLaurin – his heads up muffed punt recovery set up OSU’s 2nd TD “drive”
Patrick – Cam by default
Scott – McLaurin. Heads-up play.
JC – McLaurin. Speed & guts.
Brandon – McLaurin. He showed great speed on that muffed punt recovery.
Michael – I’ll go with Johnston.
WVa – McLaurin has a nice career approaching for the Buckeyes and he is a WR they will need soon!
McLaurin wins his first ever award
tOSU Needs Improvement
Joe –
Ken – Offensive coaching staff
Patrick – Dontre Wilson
Scott – Offensive play calling because it was pretty offensive.
JC – Offensive coaching. Call playing is not their strong suit – is it?
Brandon – PLAY CALLIN’ Reminds me of two years ago when Withers and Fickell weren’t on the same page.
Michael – anything to do with the offense
WVa – The most common answer for the season has been play-calling and rightfully so. The clear difference in last years team and this years for sure.
lack of quality play-calling is the right choice
SPARTY MVP
Joe –
Ken – OSU’s offensive coordinators made the game easier than expected for MSU
Patrick – Mark Dantonio for a brilliant game plan.
Scott – Joey Bosa.
JC – I agree with Ken. Warinner & Beck are INDEED The Spartans MVP’s.
Brandon – Holmes and Scott ran hard.
Michael – Ohio Sts offensive play callers
WVa – Even in sarcasm it makes sense, the offensive play calling by Ohio State was Sparty’s best player
OSU offensive play calling wins the odd award of the week
B1G Coach MVP
Joe –
Ken – Dantonio- I believe he is 2-2 vs Urban
Patrick – Dantonio
Scott – Pat Fitzgerald.
JC – Dantonio. Absolutely no questions marks here…..
Brandon – Dantonio.
Michael – Dantonio. Completely outcoached Meyer
WVa – Dantonio
Mark Dantonio gets it this week for ending several streaks
