In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman venture through a hypothetical discussion on which three players from the John Cooper era could be added to the current Ohio State football team to make them championship favorites. (Note: Orlando Pace and Antoine Winfield have been removed from the draft board.)
The duo reminisces about various historical Buckeye stars, and debates over key player picks like Korey Stringer, Shawn Springs, Dan ‘Big Daddy’ Wilkinson, Joey Galloway, Terry Glenn, Joe Germaine, and many others. The conversation also dives into the strengths and gaps of the 2024 squad and how these additions might influence the team’s dynamics.
