JohnnyCFight, okay, I'll play.
You mention Katzenmoyers being considered for a Heisman Trophy in the modern era as being "sick." Howza'bout in 1973, when it truly wasn't cool for a defensive player PERIOD to be mentioned as a Heisman type of guy. Well, that year, not only did Randy play on the team that featured out greatest OL ever (John Hicks) and our greatest RB ever (Archie) he still somehow managed to come in 6th in the Heisman voting. Think about that, John Hicks and Archie Griffin as the "spotlight" players on that great team yet Randy was recognized Nation Wide as the 6th best player in the nation that year. Excuse me, but THAT is "sick."
As you may have noticed, I not only am tough on Katzenmoyer here, I truly have no respect for the guy. Andy Katzenmoyer used TOSU as nothing more than a steppingstone to the NFL. He signed out of High School to play Minor-League football for the "Columbus Buckeyes." Maybe I'm a bit too harsh on Andy, but as a quickie rank, I'll go something like this:
1. Spielman
1. Gradishar
1. Cousineau
4. Marcus Marek
5. Ike Kelley
6. Steve Tovar
7. Matt Wilhelm
8. Pepper Johnson
Since Hawk has one more year, I'll wait till next year to place him, but it sure as hell will be ahead of Katzenmoyer.
Peace.
