I am a dumb-a$$ - overlooked Nugent's name. Can you add my vote there?

Also, I have to add that Sirjo Welch is the most impressive punt-coverage gunner that I have EVER seen. This young man has a special gift.

How many players in the history of a program can truly be considered an all time great? Lets say (for the sake of argument) 50. If we are considering only modern era players, then that is under 1 per class AVERAGE. Some of the truly great teams are likely to have more than that, and we have a 7-4 team on our hands here.

I don't know that I am ready to dub A.J. an all time great just yet. Especially with the tendency he had last year to dissappear in big games last year. I think next year will either seperate A.J. as an elite all-timer, or it will have him finish as yet another great Buckeye player.

I think Teddy will eventually become one, because of the impact he had as a freshman, and the fact that he broke records and changed the game around nearly everytime he touched the ball. Again, he has a lot to prove in the next couple years. He can either become a great, or he will be another "remember him?" guy.

Nuge is cemented as an All-time great in my opinion.

I don't want to sound negative with this post. It's just that history remembers very few and the names of all but the elite are lost. Even as a lifelong Buckeye fan, I occasionally run across the name of a "great" player in Buckeye history that I have never heard of. I believe when all is said and done, the only two players on this team that our childrens children will talk about, is Nuuuge and Teddy.

Forgot to Add Youboty as my other

Youboty, I reckon, looks like first round material with his nose for the ball and ability to blanket. If he played for the Hurricanes people would be dangling from his gonads right now.

How many INTs did Rolle have this year anyway? Rolle made a huge impression during the first game against FSU and I think that's all I can remember of him and I've watched bits and pieces of every Miami game.

Not saying Youboty is the athlete that Rolle is right now, but I really like his deceptive nature. He lulls QBs into INTs and just gloves it after it's too late for the QB to take back.
