Ohio State fans continue to see what Urban Meyer and his staff sees in players like Ezekiel Elliott and JT Barrett and Jalin Marshall those guys are absolute freaks of nature. Taivon Jacobs and Marcus Baugh are quickly proving they belong in the same breath. On defense the surprise of the class continues to be Tracy Sprinkle. I finally got to see Joey Bosa play and I was shocked how big and fast and strong he is. He could easily play as a freshman. This class is full of stars that is evident and just proves OSU is set for the next 5 years with talented people.
This is my favorite feature on this site! Great stuff.
Right now the OSU offense is dangerous. Miller is a freak, Smith and Brown are proving to be playmakers, Stoney is Stoney…but this offense will reach new heights with the additions of Marshall, Elliot, Baugh and Jacobs.
One thing OSU is missing is a burner at tailback. I so wanted to see Jamaal Berry in this offense. He could have put up some numbers. I still think Hall will be pretty good once he shakes off the rust.
Come 2014, with Miller as a senior and Elliot, Marshall, Baugh and Jacobs with a year under their belt….look out.
Playoffs (Jim Mora nasally voice)
I really like what I see in Ezekiel Elliott he has the potential to be that true speed RB. We just need to keep recruiting the bigger bruising RBs as well. If we do that we will have the best of both worlds.
