What Do Hasselback and Roethlisberger have in Common?

As strange as it may seem, both of these Super Bowl quarterbacks had OSU offers. Hasselback ultimately chose Boston College. I don't believe we pursued him, as we had a qb in hand (Stanley Jackson?). "Big Ben" was recruited and offered as a tight end, as he only played qb at Findlay for what two years? Anyway, he went to Miami of Ohio as a qb, and the rest is history.

Shows what good judge of talent, or more probably, the development of personnel in college versus what their high school potential can do. This could be placed on the recruiting board also, but hey. Not completely certain who the qb was recruited rather than Hasselback (am certain that someone out there will know), but seem to remember that we were 'set' and backed off. But do know that none of our qbs played in the super bowl yesterday.

One of Indiana's did. Helluva throw too - I heard this AM that Randel El is 15 for 17 passing in his NFL career. Not bad for a WR. :p

Indiana's a regular QB factory compared to OSU

Trent Green
Randel El

dwarf any NFL QB product that OSU has produced recently.

Hopefully that will soon change. I'll still take the wins over IU though!!!

I've heard little rumblings/jokes that the Chicago Bears are going to go after Randel El hard this offseason and might get reps as a QB since everyone knows Rex cannot stay healthy...

shouldn't a QB factory be producing NFL QBs... not 1 QB & 1 WR? Great post, sherlock.

No one can spell their names correctly?

Actually Big Ben played only one year at quarterback for Findlay. The coach's son played the other years. Hmmmm...maybe that wasnt the best choice.

Randel El threw a better pass on Sunday then Germaine and Krenzel ever did in their pisspoor NFl careers, Dr. Watson.

boy, how did I overlook such brilliant logic. Someone better let TCU know they can start pitching a new recruiting angle featuring their great QB tradition

Yeah, Green is a "recent" IU grad ('92).

That was about the last time Notre Dame did anything worth a damn, if it works for them why not let Indiana ride it out too.

Eh, have to go back to the mid 80s for an OSU QB to do anything in the pros...and even that involving punting....and gambling.

Randel El has completed more NFL passes than Germaine. Yeah, that was hard to figure out.
