tOSU Offensive Unsung

Conference Awards

TB1G Coach of the Year

WVa - Scottio and Chris with the right choice, does anyone else win with less like he always has?

Scott - Pat Fitzgerald

Diana - Urban Meyer

Lindsay - Hairball...oh, coach of the year, I read buffon of the year! Meyer because OSU coaches win NC’s and never coach of the year!

Jane - Paul Chryst

Mel - Urban..I don’t care if I’m Biased

Shannon - Mark Dantonio. Bounced back after the 3-9 season and all the off the field stuff with a red shirt freshman qb and just about as young a team as Michigan

Chris - Pat Fitzgerald
Pat Fitzgerald just keeps winning with less, some day he will be richly rewarded.

TB1G Offensive Player of the Year(Not OSU)

WVa - Barkley impressed me more than any other player this year. Aside from his lack of rushing against the Buckeyes he set a pretty quick tone to the game with the opening return.

Scott - Justin Jackson, Northwestern

Diana - Saquon Barkley

Lindsay - Barkley

Jane - Troy Fumagalli. I’m sick of QB’s & RB’s. Give me a TIGHT END anyday!!!

Mel - O’Korn

Shannon - Jonathon Taylor

Saquon Barkley is tough on the field and a pretty good guy off it. Easy choice here!

TB1G Defensive Player of the Year(Not OSU)

WVa - Josey Jewell the tewell

Scott - TJ Edwards

Diana - Josh Jackson

Lindsay - long haired, blonde punk from Wiscy

Jane - What Lindsay said. He was an irritable gnat in the B1G Championship.
