Countdown To Kickoff: James Laurenaitis and Pete Johnson

Ohio State begins what we all hope is a national championship season Sept. 1 against a pretend OSU: Oregon State University.

There are just 33 days until the Buckeyes bash the Beavers so the crack staff at That's What She Said decided to enlighten fans about our favorites who have worn the scarlet and gray.

 Pete will always be considered the second best 3 yards and a cloud of dust participant of the 70's only because he was in the same backfield as Archie but he made the most of his opportunities.

He graduated holding single season and career marks for TD's and points scored with 25/156 in 1975 and 58/348 for his career.

In 2000, Johnson was selected for the Ohio State Football All-Century Team. On September 8, 2007, during halftime of the Ohio State-Akron game, Johnson was inducted into Ohio State's Athletics Hall of Fame.

The #33 that most modern era fans will identify with was a player as a true freshman from the start. Got his first real calling when Bobby Carpenter went down with a broken leg in the 2005 TTUN game and did not disappoint.

One of the more decorated LB's in Ohio State football history he was awarded first team All-B1G and consensus All-American honors three years in a row (06-08) as well as a two-time Defensive POTY for the B1G(07 and 08).

Also honored with a major defensive award each of those years as well nationally with Bronko Nagurski Trophy (06), Butkus Award (07), and the Lott Trophy (08).
