Sanzo's bravery got him leveled several times last year. Taylor Mays is not the kind of DB to play that game with.

Hopefully we will use Stoneburner to keep Mays busy so that Sanzo can stay alive.

I agree, we need to keep that secondary very busy and Mays is just one component. Having a few burners (as well as Stoneburner :biggrin:) at wideout should keep Mays occupied, as long as they are catching the ball. One thing about Dane, HE CAN CATCH THE BALL. Then there the TP threat to run. This should be fun to watch.

You think he's following in his great grandfather's footsteps? I wonder what position great grandpa Walter played? :biggrin:

Why don't you just ask BB73? He has an excellent memory.

I was expecting that one. And if I would have created a vBet on which poster would make the comment, your odds would have had the smallest payout. :wink2:

As Bob Sanders says in the most overplayed NFL Network commercial of all time.... "that's consistency". :wink2:

It's Posey and Sanzo

Scout.com: 2009 Ohio State Preview - Offense

Projected Starters: Is it possible to lose Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline and upgrade the receiving corps? Not right away, but with the emergence of DeVier Posey, the offense has a more dangerous No. 1 target. The 6-3, 205-pound sophomore only made 11 grabs last year for 117 yards and a score, but he showed this offseason that he's ready to blossom into yet another superstar Buckeye receiver. He has tremendous athleticism, the ability to hit the home run from anywhere on the field, and a willingness to catch the ball in traffic. A next-level athlete with a 33-inch vertical and 21.5 in the 200, to go along with the smarts and consistency to be a solid route runner, he's a flawless prospect ... outside of his blocking. It's nitpicking, but he's a mediocre blocker, which is a big deal in the OSU offense.

On the other side, at least at the moment, is Dane Sanzenbacher, a serviceable target who wasn't able to do much this spring thanks to an ankle sprain. While the junior is only 5-11 and 175 pounds, he's a sharp route runner and he doesn't drop a pass. He pales in comparison to the rest of the tremendous athletes in the Buckeye receiving corps, but he always produces in practices when he gets the chance, and he tied for second on the team with 21 catches for 272 yards with a touchdown last season.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Sanzo was up near 190 now? He doesn't look as small as this article makes him seem.

He's been listed at 175 since HS. His weight never changes. Ever. :) Keeping his weight down allows him to juke defenders into the Olentangy before they know what hits em.

The top 20 Ohio State football players for 2009: No. 16, Dane Sanzenbacher

No. 16: Junior receiver Dane Sanzenbacher

He's back as Ohio State's leading receiver after catching 21 passes for 272 yards last season. The No. 3 receiver, he wasn't on the field even half as much as top two receivers Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline. And you can't tell yet what kind of load he can handle now that the Buckeyes will be depending on him much more.

At 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, he isn't nearly as big as Hartline and he isn't nearly as fast as Anthony Gonzalez, two recent OSU receivers who did their best work from the slot and working the middle of the field, like Sanzenbacher.

Receivers coach Darrell Hazell said Sanzenbacher has the natural intuition and feel he wants in a receiver, the ability to understand his offense and the opposing defense, process it all at the line of scrimmage and make the right decision about where he can find an opening. That's why he's ahead of Posey on this list for now. But that isn't enough.

I expect Sanzenbacher to be productive, but he needs to prove he can be a true No. 1 or No. 2 option in the passing game before he moves any higher on this list.

I had a class with him this past spring and he's definitely no more than 170-175 and a lot more like 5'9" than 5'11" (the same with Posey being closer to 6' and more like 185 than 205). But I love his game and I'm ready to see him become a full time target this year regardless of how big or small he is and hopefully he can stay on the field.
