I will miss watching him take down all the QB's of the Big Ten. Sad to see him go, but glad that he wore a scarlet jersey.

He led the team in TFL's. He also had his way with #1 pick Jake Long both years he played opposite him. VG's only weakness was in that he hasn't been at OSU long enough to build up that legendary status (like Will Smith). But there's no question that he's the best DE in CFB this season. He will be the first DE picked, no question. Joe – he beat Vrabel’s Big 10 sack record in a single year, and did it as a second-year junior. He led the team in TFL’s.

Good, solid, but unpsectacular. Robert Rose has yet to turn anyone's head in practice, even before he was hurt. I'm hoping Willie Mobley can come in and help out up front.

What a class act. No Buckeye fan can be mad at Gholston's decision; not when it's expressed like that. Best of luck to Big Vern!!!! I also think it's ironic that you mention Curtis Terry. I think even a lot of Buckeyes fans forgot about Terry since he had a medical redshirt this year. Terry is a hellacious run-stopper and I can't wait to get him, Lawrence Wilson and Robert Rose back to 100% healthy. These are 3 guys where nobody outside Ohio has any idea how good they are. 3 best-kept secrets can only help. Here's to '08...

He looks perfectly harmless as well. I think the 2008 man crush should be Robert Rose…he would most definitely eat your children. He looks perfectly harmless as well.
