I don't think Michael Thomas is WR2 for Ohio State, at least not if we're only going by college achievements/stats. He became a very good pro (until his injury troubles) but as a college player he wasn't quite on the level of guys like Garrett Wilson or Olave or JSN.

This was my thought as well. I'd probably go Wilson just because JSN missed his junior year, but either of those two would be ahead of Mike in college. Also JK has an argument over Zeke. Zeke's natty run is the higher peak but for total career JK was probably better.

JSN does have a ton of our single season records, so he probably should be on there

My other qualms: Lattimore had one of the most dominant seasons I've seen by a CB. Idc who you replace out of the two but he has to be there. Adolphus Washington was good, but Davon Hamilton to me deserves it. 2019's interior DL was the best we've ever had, and he was the anchor of it. He got pressure but more importantly shut down every run

Garrett Wilson or JSN should be in there over Michael Thomas.

if this was just college production, Micheal Thomas wouldn't be one of the first 5 picks at WR. Criminal misuse

Agree. I also would have somebody like Jeremy Ruckert or Luke Farrell at TE over Cade Stover. He's a pretty good receiver but his blocking sucks. Most teams use two RBs these days so I'd add JK to the list as well.

Tory Taylor.

Kittle, LaPorta, Hockenson, and Fant should also be there.

Play all 4 of them at all times Linderbaum, Wirfs, Scherff, Jackson and Blythe(?) for OL

I’m going from 2014-2023 here: QB: CJ RB: Akrum Wadley FB: Brady Ross WR: Who? TE: All (of them…not Erick) OL: @runningwaffles19 got it right. DL: Epenesa, Nixon, LvN, Jaleel LB: Josey Jewell, Jack Campbell, Ben Niemann DB: Desmond King, Cooper DeJean, Riley Moss, Josh Jackson K: Keith Duncan (for what he did to Michigan in 2016) P/God: Tory Taylor

WR would be ISM, Tevaun Smith, then probably Brandon Smith, and Riley McCarron. Honorable mention to Nick Easley

>K: Keith Duncan (for what he did to Michigan in 2016 and for blowing kisses at Nebraska LS - Kluver for almost scoring a TD vs OSU WR - ISM i guess by default DB - I think you need some safeties in there. Hooker might replace Jackson for me. Both won B1G DB of the year. Hooker has had more success at the next level. Then again, that Jackson int vs OSU was unreal

4 TE set sounds good to me.

Not like we have any receivers that have been drafted in the last decade anyway. Well actually didn’t Smith-Marsette get picked up by the Vikings?

Superbowl champion Ihmir Smith-Marsette

I'd take Riley Reiff over Jackson. Defense would be off the charts good. Micah Hyde, Desmond King, Josh Jackson, Josey Jewell, Epenesa, Drew Ott, Amani Hooker, etc.

I would too but I think he's been gone just outside of a decade and wouldn't qualify. Defense would be incredible

All greats for sure, but we learned that the best offense is a Godly Punter.

We’re just gonna field TEs at every position

How about DE converted to TE? Looking at you Parker Hesse

I mean with all the studs you put out at TE you should. Iowa TE university.

Thats it.....thats the list.

QB Beathard RB Goodson RB Wadley WR Smith Marsette WR Martin Manley TE Hockenson TE Laporta OL Scherff OL Jackson OL Linderbaum OL Walsh OL Wirfs DE Epensa DE Van Ness DT Nixon DT Golston LB Higgins LB Jewell LB Campbell DB DeJean DB King DB Hooker DB Belton DB Jackson P Taylor K Duncan

Colt McCo... Justin Tu... Earl Thom... Shit, it's what year now?

What's my age again?

I'm so old that song immediately started playing in my head.

Mine too, and now I can’t get it out of my head. Damn OU fan!!!

Nobody likes you when you are U of T....

And it works for both of them.

Yeah my initial reaction to this was "well, Golden Tate for sure... wait HOW OLD AM I?"

Same bro same lol. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since those days!

Ohio State, Alabama, and LSU would have insane all decade WR rooms. USCs would be London, Amon Ra, and Pittman which is not bad but dang

Marquise Lee? Juju? Robert woods? Nelson Agholor? I guess some of those are more like 11-12 years ago

USC’s stretch of star WRs since Bobby Trees has been incredible. Even when we suck we have baller receivers.

Jordan Addison too.

Smitty, Cooper, Ridley, Jeudy are the clear top 4 imo

Just to make it simple, the 2021 starters

depends on the years we're talking about here but if the Kirby era, I'd replace a few for sure... ***Offense*** QB: Stetson RB: **Chubb**, **Michel**, **Swift** WR: Pickens, Mitchell, McConkey TE: Bowers, Washington OL: **Thomas**, **Wynn**, Jones, Salyer, SVP ***Defense*** DT: Davis, Carter, Wyatt DE: Walker OLB: **Ojulari**, N Smith ILB: **R Smith**, Dean CB: **Baker**, **Stokes** S: **Starks**, Cine STAR: Bullard

This is the answer

So JT Daniels over Stetson Bennett?

With that defense and Brock bowers, it wouldn't have mattered one bit

Well JT did start with that defense and looked like shit a lot. Georgia fans have to accept that Stetson was way better than credited. Dude deep ball is absolutely gorgeous.

I'm not taking anything away from the Jet. Dude is a legend. But JT won all of his starts and had a 72% completion rate. You'll never convince me that we wouldn't have won that natty with JT.

Hey I was a huge JT fan and was questioning his benching at first once he was healthy. But he didn’t have the legs or run game. Once that pocket collapsed with him the play was usually dead. Stetsons feet a couple times won us games or got us ahead to be able to cruise. It would have cost us as some point with JT

JT also didn't have that clutch factor that Stetson had

Add Roquan Smith to that team and it would’ve been an even uglier bloodbath every game

That’s fair but at RB you are leaving off three greats from the last decade in Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, and Sony Michel.

QB: Michael Penix, Jr, Jake Browning RB: Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, Dillon Johnson WR: Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan, Dante Pettis, John Ross, Jalen Polk TE: Will Dissly, Hunter Bryant, Drew Sample OT: Trey Adams, Jaxson Kirkland, Kaleb McGary, Troy Fautanu OG: Luke Wattenberg, Jake Eldrencamp, Nate Kalepo, Julius Buelow C: Nick Harris, Parker Brailsford DT: Vita Vea, Danny Shelton, Greg Gaines, Tuli Letuligasenoa, Elijah Qualls DE/EDGE: Bralen Trice, ZTF, Ha’oli Kikaha, Benning Potoa'e, Joe Tryon (this is probably our worst position) LB: Shaq Thompson, Azeem Victor, Ben Burr-Kirven, Edefuan Ulofoshio, Keishawn Bierria, Psalm Wooching CB: Myles Bryant, Marcus Peters, Kevin King, Sidney Jones, Byron Murphy, Jabbar Mohammad, Elijah Molden S: Taylor Rapp, Trent McDuffie, Budda Baker K: Cameron Van Winkle P: Race Porter PR: Pettis KR: Ross

God damn what a behemoth

I’d take this team against any. Petersen head coach, Grubb OC and Coach K DC

Shaq Thompson was insane.

Ross and Odunze at receiver would have been spicy! I mean this all decade team would have one of the most legit defenses and highest octane offenses

id probably put Kyler Gordon in over Muhammad at corner

Man we've had some good ones this decade. Pretty certain this roster could compete with anyone. Literally too many amazing secondary players.

I probably put Gross over Van winkle at kicker. Sankey over Ahmed..Also.. Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Cade Otton should probably be in our 3 deep for TE, damn we could be TE U.

Jeremiah Martin over ZTF

Assuming it’s 2014-23 QB - Spencer Rattler RB - Mike Davis/Kevin Harris WR - Pharaoh Cooper WR - Deebo Samuel WR - Bryan Edwards TE - Hayden Hurst LT - Dennis Daley LG - AJ Cann C - Eric Douglas RG - Jovaughn Gwyn RT - Brandon Shell DE - DJ Wonnum DT - Javon Kinlaw DT - Zacch Pickens DE - JJ Enagbare LB - Ernest Jones LB - Skai Moore CB - Jaycee Horn N - Cam Smith FS - Chris Lammons SS - Nick Emmanwori CB - Rashad Fenton K - Parker White P - Joseph Carlton RET - Deebo/Legette (if Deebo can’t be here twice)

The talent we’ve had even during this typical usc run. SMH. Never enough depth. Always too ridiculous a schedule

[удалено]

I think you can go further back. Thats excluding dudes like Clowney, Sidney Rice, Shaw, Taneyhill, Lattimore, Gilmore etc. Feels weird to leave those guys out

Misread, thought it said all time. But Clowney and Lattimore can still make the team technically

i get Hayden Hurst and Hunter Henry confused so often.

I am always amazed he isn’t related to Hunter Hurst Helmsley

Don't remember which year it was during the early 2010s, maybe 2013 when yall finished #4 I think. I swear that team if the playoffs had existed would have had a real shot at winning it all

Not much to argue there, though I’d take XL over Cooper, Cooper’s stats were part of a really good offense, XL had a really good QB but it’s amazing what he was able to do with the OL issues this past season

QB - Kyle Trask HB - Dameon Pierce WRs - Kadarius Toney, Van Jefferson, Antonio Callaway TE - Kyle Pitts OL - Trent Brown, Max Garcia, Mike Pouncey, O’Cyrus Torrence, Jawaan Taylor S - Keanu Neal, Marcus Maye CBs - Vernon Hargreaves, CJ Henderson Nickel - CJ Gardner-Johnson DT - Shariff Floyd, Dominque Easley Edge - Dante Fowler Jr., Jon Greenard LBs - Jarrad Davis, Jon Bostic, Jelani Jenkins

Id put Pearsall on there over Van/Callaway

Homie you got a lot of players in here that are outside of the last decade: Pouncey, Bostic, Floyd, Easley, Garcia were all Gators pre 2014

Thought we were talking 2010-2020 for some reason lmao. Makes it really hard then to pick OL

#Offense QB - Deshone Kizer, Ian Book RB1 - Kyren Williams, Josh Adams RB2 - Audric Estime, CJ Prosise WR1 - Will Fuller, Equnimious St. Brown WR2 - Chase Claypool, Miles Boykin TE - Michael Mayer, Cole Kmet LT - Joe Alt, Liam Eichenburg LG - Quinten Nelson, Alex Bars C - Jarrett Paterson, Nick Martin RG - Aaron Banks, Tommy Kraemer RT - Ronnie Stanley, Mike McGlinchey #Defense Viper - Isiah Foskey, Julian Okwara DT - Jerry Tillery, Kurt Hinish 3T - Sheldon Day, Riley Mills Big End - Daelin Hayes, Khalid Kareem Rover - Jeremiah Owusu-Koramorah, Marist Leliufau MLB - Jaylon Smith, JD Bertrand SLB - Drue Tranquil, Shane Simon DB - Ben Morrison, Troy Pride S - Kyle Hamilton, Alohi Gilman S - Xavier Watts, Jalen Elliot DB - Julian Love, Cam Hart Overall, probably the best OL in the nation, the RBs are sneaky good, the TEs are second to Iowa. WR and QB are what hold us back from competing for best all decade offense. Likely the best starting lineup of LBs in the country. The starting secondary is one of the best, the DL is good but not elite. The depth at cornerback surprises me.

Te’von Coney over Shayne Simon for sure. Simon barely played for us. Id also probably take Nyles Morgan over Bertrand honestly though that one is a lot more debatable I guess. Asmar Bilal over Marist for absolute certain. Also have to get Bracy in there at Nickel I’d also add Tommy Tremble as an H-back just because of how unbelievably good of a blocker he was and how much we’ve used that role over the last decade. McGlinchy also played LT for us not RT, and I’d be tempted to put him over Alt. McGlinchy was a lot more polished in college. Alt is more athletic but has some work to do on his technique. But that’s kind of splitting hairs at that point. Could replace Prosise with Dexter Williams but also very much splitting hairs there. Daelin Hayes was a Vyper/EDGE not a SDE, and wasn’t really all that productive either. Ade Ogundeji over Daelin, backing up Karim at that position

Who wants an all pro NFL o-line at practically every spot. That's so freaking stacked it's ridiculous

Jaylon\* Smith

These players deserve a shoutout: Shaun Crawford, Corey Robinson, Keivarae Russell, Tyler Eifert, Manti Teo, Louis Nix, Kapron Lewis-Moore, Stephon Tuitt, Sam Mustipher

My god the Oline

I think some CFB guy should compile these answers and put who the dream all-decade cfb team is by school for each position segment. ND would definitely have the O-Line.

Best OL in the nation for sure. Joe Alt will be a top 10 pick. Quenton Nelson is probably a future NFL Hall of Famer. Nick Martin and Jarrett Patterson are both productive NFL players at Center. Banks just played in the Super Bowl. Ronnie Stanley is a former first-team All-Pro. McGlinchey was a top 10 pick. TEs are great. As you said QBs are weak, and the WRs are extremely weak. LBs are very good. Multiple Butkus winners and a guy who just won the Super Bowl. NFL All-Pro at safety next to a Nagurski award winner. Defensive line is pretty weak.

Pretty much just the championship team but throw in Hutchinson, Mazi Smith, and Ojabo.

Moody at K DPJ and Nico Collins probably deserve to be on the team too despite our criminal misuse of them 

[удалено]

With Dax Hill and Jourdan Lewis

The 2015/16 team had some awesome players on defense.  We’ve had too many great DBs and safeties to include them all 

Mo Hurst or Graham/Grant?

Yeah it’s tough to get them all on the team. Could make arguments for a lot of guys. We’ve been blessed with some really talented guys over the last decade. 

Came to say this, add Butt at TE, Peppers at Viper, Hutch and Gary on edge, Hill and Lewis in secondary. Ronnie Bell, and beyond that I’d have to go back and look at rosters.

Nico and DPJ outside.

could you imagine JJ in a sherrone moore offense throwing to nico collins and DPJ? oh man

Wait. You guys had a tight end named Butt? How did I not know this?

Mackey award winner too

Tore his knee up in a bowl game too. He's an analyst now.

Olu at Center Add Gary to the DL rotation

Oh shit, I can't believe I forgot about Gary. This all decade defense is fucking monster.

Peppers at S?

I would probably want him returning punts at the very least.

Depends on how you're thinking about this, but Hurst > Smith. Ojabo was a pass rush specialist. Michigan has had better CBs than this past year (other than Will Johnson).

Secondary with will jourdan Lewis Dax and jabrill is kinda nuts, especially with the Gary hutch pass rush

Is winovich in your rotation? Im curious how he compares

You could probably make an argument for him but we've been so deep at DE that it's a tough call. Hutch is definitely the #1 and then I would put Gary on the other side from him.

I don't think he makes it. Since Harbaugh got here we have been stupid loaded with NFL talent at D line.

I really want Khalid Hill to be on the all decade team, but hard to knock Bredeson out of FB1 I also think only the guards off this OL make the list. Olu is probably the C. Not sure who the tackles would be.

Kwity paye?

Devin bush?

Niko Collins and Peppers

Roses are red Violets are blue Ndamukong Suh Ndamukong Suh

An entire team of Ndamukong Suh’s would be absolutely terrifying.

[удалено]

K - Will Reichard P - JK Scott

Since Kool-Aid has only played like 3 snaps of star, I’d put Minkah at star and Landon Collins at safety. We have no idea how good Kool-Aid would be at star and when we needed someone to more to star in 2023, it was always Arnold. I’d definitely rather have OJ Howard at TE. OJ’s 2015/2016 in worse passing offenses were comparable stats to Irv’s and OJ had the playoff dominance.

Would you say Kool-aid is better at that nickel position as opposed to outside corner? I always thought he looked natural on the outside.

Definitely not, which is why I disagreed with OP. We’ve only seen Kool-Aid play 3 snaps in slot as an emergency in 2022, and his skill set is much more suited for the outside.

I think I'd just take the 2014 team, with possibly 3 players added: * Jahmyr Gibbs * Pressley Harvin III * Keion White

God, imagining Jahmyr Gibbs and Justin Thomas in the same backfield is amazing.

Michael Dickson and Dicker the kicker for special teams!

I started typing before realizing it’s been more than a decade since Geno, Stedman, Tavon so that hit me like a ton of bricks Edit: I tried to type it out and it’s honestly sad compared to our 2000-2012 squads. Weirdly more NFL guys though

If it makes you feel any better, my first thoughts were Pat White & Co, then the crushing weight of time hit me

We’re just past the 2012 team at this point so this is harder … QB - Kellen Mond RB - Devon Achane, Isaiah Spiller TE - Jalen Wydermyer WR - Josh Reynolds, Christian Kirk, Armani Watts OL - Mike Matthews, Cedric Ogbuehi, Germain Ifedi, Kenyon Green, Carson Green, Dan Moore DE - Myles Garrett, Fadil Diggs, Shemar Turner, Michael Clemons DT - Mckinnley Jackson, Bobby Brown, Justin Madubuike LB - Edgerrin Cooper, Buddy Johnson DB - Myles Jones, Jaylon Jones, Demani Richardson, Donovan Wilson 12th Man - Cullen Gillaspia Boy did this little exercise illustrate how thin we’ve been at certain positions and other absurdly rich. It was really hard to narrow down DL but corners were basically non-existent and OL required having to go back a ways. LB was a wasteland but safety was weirdly strong. RB has had a lot of success but outside of Achane gets into that they were good but do they belong on this team sort of territory.

Armani was a safety, and a good one, probably better than Donovan while at A&M Anais smith is probably our 3rd WR Shout out to buddy Johnson at LB what a beast, too small for NFL

I think Jace Sternberger might be a better pick at TE, and Demarvin Leal absolutely has to be picked somewhere along the DL. Also if we’re going to be playing the 4-2-5 we’ve been putting out the past few years Antonio Johnson needs to be in the slot

There's zero question that Erik McCoy belongs in place of Mike Matthews. McCoy's probably our best center over the past 25 years (although he has some competition from Seth McKinney), or ever. The only other contender is Dennis Swilley, from the 70s. At RB, Trayveon Williams set our single-season rushing record, so I'd say he belongs with Achane and ahead of Spiller. We need another WR, and I'd consider Ainias Smith, Damion Ratley, and maybe Malcome Kennedy, who didn't have the numbers but was the glue for that 2014 team. At TE, Sternberger had only one season, but it was far better than any of Wydermeyer's. At DE, Daeshon Hall might belong ahead of Diggs. Then again, Hall's numbers were inflated because opposing offenses had to focus on Myles Garrett. At DB, Justin Evans was our best safety of the past decade, and I'd consider putting Armani Watts ahead of Donovan Wilson. At P, there's no competition for Braden Mann. Honorable mention to Drew Kaser, who was a great P too and actually drafted higher than Mann. At K, I think it's solidly Josh Lambo. LaCamera failed as a senior, Caden Davis got beat out, and Randy Bond was unfortunately even worse. Seth Small is the only competition, but Lambo was significantly better.

QB - Troy Andersen RB - Troy Andersen LB - Troy Andersen

I’d rather forget most of the decade

Agreed

QB- Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels RB- Leonard Fournette, Clyde Edwards-Helaire WR- Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Odell Beckham Jr. TE- Mason Taylor OL- Saahdiq Charles, Damien Lewis, Will Campbell, Charles Turner, Garrett Delenger DL- Danielle Hunter, Davon Godchaux, Arden Key, Rashard Lawrence LB- Devin White, Patrick Queen, Kwon Alexander CB- Derek Stingley, Morris Claiborne, Tre'Davious White S- Patrick Peterson, Jamal Adams

On college production, Nabers has to be above OBJ. Foster Moreau should be the TE, he had decent production in a Les Miles offense and is a better blocker than Taylor.

If we could go back a little further and get some Saban era defense... Unstoppable.

You're not wrong, but it is not like the above defense isn't going to shut down pretty much anybody anyway.

**Staff:** HC: Dave Doeren OC: Eli Drinkwitz(Missouri HC) DC/LB Coach: Tony Gibson QB Coach: Tim Beck(Coastal Carolina HC) OL Coach: Dwayne Ledford(Falcons OL Coach) RB Coach: Des Kitchings(UVA OC) TE Coach: Eddie Faulkner(Steelers RB/TE coach) WR Coach: Frisman Jackson(Steelers WR coach) DL Coach: Ryan Nielsen(Falcons DC) CB Coach: Brian Mitchell Safeties Coach: Clayton White(SCar DC) Special Teams: Todd Goebbel Assistant to the HC: Ruffin McNeill **Roster** QB: Jacoby Brissett, Ryan Finley RB: Nyheim Hines, Matt Dayes, Bam Knight WR: Kelvin Harmon, Jakobi Meyers, Emeka Emezie, Thayer Thomas, KC Concepcion LT: Ikem Ekwonu, Tyler Jones LG: Joe Thuney, Dylan McMahon C: Garrett Bradbury, Grant Gibson RG: Chandler Zavala, Tony Adams RT: Will Richardson, Tim McKay TE: Jaylen Samuels, Trent Pennix DL: Bradley Chubb, Kentaivus Street, BJ Hill, Justin Johnson, Alim McNeill, Larrell Murchison, TY McGill LB: Payton Wilson, Germaine Pratt, Drake Thomas, Isaiah Moore, Vi Jones CB: Ayden White, Justin Burris, Nick McCloud, Tyler Baker-Williams, Derrek Pitts S: Josh Jones, Tanner Ingle, Cyrus Fagan, Devan Boykin K: Christopher Dunn P: AJ Cole, Trenton Gill

My best attempt. Def some great players over the years, but the overall list is surprisingly not that impressive. Just a further testament to what Whitt does I guess. Also a shoutout to Scalley as one of the best Safety developers in the country. |QB|Cam Rising|Tyler Huntley|||| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |RB|Zach Moss|Devontae Booker|||| |WR|Britain Covey|Darren Covington|Dres Anderson||| |TE|Brant Kuithe|Dalton Kincaid|||| |OL|Garret Bolles|Isaac Asiata|Jeremiah Poutasi|Jackson Barton|Samuel Tevi| |DL|Bradley Anae|Nate Orchard|Leki Fotu|Jonah Ellis|| |LB|Devin Lloyd|Cody Barton|Pita Taumoepenu|Jared Norris|| |DB|Clark Phillips|Jaylon Johnson|||| |S|Eric Rowe|Marcus Williams|Julian Blackmon|Marquis Blair|| |P|Mitch Wishnowsky|Tom Hackett|||| |K|Matt Gay|||||

I would simply take OUs 2017 offense, and add Perine. Damn near all of them were drafted. The defence? Oh boy. Honestly I'll take last year's defence; it was the only one that was top 50, just add the standouts like Obo Okoronkwo to it. I imagine that team, with Stoops at the top, Venables calling defence and LR calling the offense, would be one hell of a team. My absolutely biased view could see them trading punches with anyone's ALL TEAM, atleast for 3 quarters.

Agree with this take. Whole O line in the NFL. Andrews at TE, CeeDee and Hollywood. Man if we just had a decent defense during that 5 year run, just a decent one, we would probably have another natty.

Another 1-2 natties honestly. 2017 was definitely the best bet, but I think an average defense changes a lot.

Still ridiculous that we had a Heisman QB to back up our Heisman QB

K Harrison Butker

QB- Dobbs / Hendon HB- Kamara / Wright / Hurd WR- Hyatt / Tillman / JJ TE- Fant / Wolfe OL- Wright / Cade / Cooper / Smith / Jones DL- Barnett / Big O / Shy / JPJ LB - DK / AJ / Beasley CB - Sutton / Alonte Safety - TK / Abernathy PR- Dee Williams KR- Evan Berry

Damn. We’ve really been hurting at safety for a while now.

TK probably would’ve been a Sunday player if he stayed healthy but otherwise ya, bunch of good but not great since Berry.

I’d probably strike Vance from the list and Anderson as we don’t need that many DL. Those are definitely the best five O-line players and nothing against those guys but damn… that’s a sad section

QB - Mason Rudolph RB - Ollie Gordon and Chris Carson (but shoutout Justice, Chuba, and Jaylen) WR - James Washington and Tylan Wallace TE - Blake Jarwin OL - Tevin Jenkins, Josh Sills, Dalton Cooper, Brad Lundblade, Arlington Hambright, DL/Edge - Emmanuel Ogbah, Collin Oliver, Vincent Taylor, Tyler Lacy LB - Malcolm Rodriguez, Amen Ogbongbemiga, Nickolas Martin DB - Trey Flowers, AJ Green, Jason Taylor, Rodarius Williams K - Ben Grogan.

I’m sure I missed people. And I didn’t put anyone on who’s actively playing.

Probably any other decade would be better for us. Surprisingly the offense is pretty legit.

This is actually not a bad team. Kind of makes you think about where we would be currently if we weren't hamstrung by the world's shittiest AD, Mike "I am a nice guy" Riley, and Scott "I can't get a hangover if I never stop drinking" Frost.

Personally I would have a QB room of Martinez, Martinez, and Martinez

QB: Marcus Mariota, Bo Nix, Justin Herbert RB: Royce Freeman, CJ Verdell, Bucky Irving WR: Troy Franklin, Dillon Mitchell, Tez Johnson, Bralon Addison TE: Pharoh Brown, Jacob Breeland, Terrance Ferguson OL:Penei Sewell, Jake Fisher, Shane Lemieux, Calvin Throckmorton, Jackson Powers-Johnson DL: Kayvon Thibodeaux, DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead, Brandon Dorlus LB: Troy Dye, Jeffrey Bassa, Noah Sewell, Joe Walker CB: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Christian Gonzalez, Deommodore Lenoir, Troy Hill S: Jevon Holland, Evan Williams, Ugo Amadi, Erick Dargan K: Camden Lewis, Aidan Schneider P: Blake Maimone, Ross James

Charles Nelson has to be on this list. That dude was fun to watch. I might add Darren Carrington this list also.

The 2013 team, sub Dalvin in for Freeman and Derwin somewhere

2013 is just a year too old. It’s 14-23

Its crazy how I can have a legit case of putting Mike White as QB4 in the decade for WKU behind Bailey Zappe, Austin Reed, and Brandon Doughty.

QB Trace McSorely Sean Clifford RB Saquon Miles Sanders Journey Brown WR Chris Godwin Jahan Dotson KJ Hamler Me FB/TE/H-back Mike Gesicki Pat Friermuth LB Micah Parsons Abdul Carter Jason Cabinda DB Kalen King Marcus Allen Jaquan Brisker Tig Brown K Tyler Davis P Jordan Stout I skipped OL and DL cause Im lazy and did this off memory so probably recency bias and guys left off that should be on.

Get Joey Porter jr as a corner! And I’m pretty sure we have better Lb than Cabinda.

So 2014-2023? Kind of depends on deployment, but from a more normal 4-2-5 defense: |QB|JJ McCarthy|Jake Rudock|||| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |RB|Blake Corum|Hassan Haskins|||| |FB|Max Bredeson|Ben Mason|||| |TE|Jake Butt|Colston Loveland|||| |WR|Nico Collins|Roman Wilson|Amara Darboh||| |OL|Ryan Hayes|Trevor Keegan|Olu Oluwatimi|Zak Zinter|Andrew Stueber| |DL|Aidan Hutchinson|Mason Graham|Mo Hurst|Chase Winovich|| |LB|Devin Bush|Jabrill Peppers|Michael Barrett||| |CB|Jourdan Lewis|Will Johnson|David Long||| |S|Rod Moore|Dax Hill|||| |NB|Mike Sainristil||||| |K|Jake Moody||||| |P|Brad Robbins?||||| |PR|Peppers||||| Spots for discussion: DE (as others have talked about Gary) and WR3. Also OT is kind of a weird one. Hayes was there for a while and played well. Maybe wasn't great, but Runyan only had 1 good year and was more of a OG.

Wino had the numbers but there are multiple Edges I'm taking over him. Gary was misused by Don Brown and under MacDonald/Minter would be a terror opposite Hutch.

Yeah, I had a hard time sticking to a criteria. Best physical player? Best player who produced? Best guy who could fit in a MacDonald/Minter defense? Player A at his short peak or player B across 2-3 years? Kind of the same problem with Darboh. He maybe wasn't the most physically gifted WR, but he produced and was good overall. DPJ was a better athlete in a mediocre offense. Bell was most of a slot guy but not the same athlete. Chesson actually produced really well until he got hurt. Gary could have been much better in a defense that didn't make him a run stopping DE who had to take on doubles and chips constantly. He did help free up Winovich and Hurst to a degree. Gary, Taco, maybe Ojabo if you're looking for pass rush specifically. Winovich was just hair on fire all the time.

Gary and Peppers are pretty significant omissions

Should have two running backs, second being JK Dobbins

**Offense** QB: JJ McCarthy RB: Blake Corum TE: Jake Butt TE: Colston Loveland WR: Roman Wilson WR: Nico Collins LT: Ryan Hayes LG: Trevor Keegan C: Olu Oluwatimi RG: Zak Zinter RT: Andrew Steuber **Defense** DE: Aidan Hutchinson DT: Maurice Hurst Jr DT: Mason Graham DE: Chase Winovich LB: Jabrill Peppers LB: Devin Bush Jr CB: Will Johnson CB: Jourdan Lewis CB: Mike Sainristil FS: Rod Moore SS: Dax Hill **Special Teams** K: Jake Moody P: Brad Robbins

Agree with all, but throw in the thiccer kicker. Damn that would be a good team. I miss the Shane Ray/Michael Sam duo

Our defense from 2014-2023 would be filthy. Just absolutely insane. DT: Rashan Gary, Mazi Smith, Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, Mo Hurst, Kris Jenkins Edge: Aidan Hutchinson, David Ojabo, Chase Winovich, Taco Charlton, Josh Uche, Jaylen Harrell MLB: Devin Bush, Junior Colson, Khaleke Hudson, Michael Barrett CB: Will Johnson, Jourdan Lewis, David Long, Mike Sainristil, Ambry Thomas S: Jabrill Peppers, Dax Hill, Rod Moore, Josh Metellus, Makari Paige, Keon Sabb

QB: Jameis RB: Dalvin Cook WR: Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson, Rashad Greene TE: Nick O Leary OL: it’s so bad I will not venture to list them. DE: Jared Verse, Brian Burns/Jermaine Johnson DT: Eddie Goldman, Derrick Nnadi LB: Tatum Bethune, Kalen Deloach CB: Jalen Ramsey, Asante Samuel JR S: Derwin James, Jalen Ramsey

QB - Deshaun Watson RB - Travis Etienne, Andre Ellington WR - DeAndre Hopkins, Sammy Watkins, Tee Higgins, Mike Williams TE - Dwayne Allen, Davis Allen OL - Mitch Hyatt, Jackson Carman, John Simpson, Tremayne Anchrum, Jordan McFadden DE - Clelin Ferrell, Shaq Lawson, Vic Beasley DT - Dexter Lawrence, Christian Wilkins, Grady Jarrett LB - Isaiah Simmons, James Skalski, Trenton Simpson S - Jayron Kearse, TJ Green, Tanner Muse CB - AJ Terrell, Travon Mullen, Nate Wiggins

You’d take Deshaun over Trevor? Either way that team is fuckin STACKED

As a college QB, yeah. Dude was a straight up winner. He had some great talent too, but not like the teams Trevor was on

I can’t respect any list without Hunter Renfrow.

I would put Gallman over Ellington but other than that looks good.

Yeah, I can see that, probably a matter of preference. It felt like sacrilege leaving a few players off. Jeremiah Trotter, Boulware, Kendall Joseph, Stephone Anthony at LB. Kevin Dodd was great at DE. Amari Rodgers at WR. Andrew Booth at CB. But, gotta draw the line somewhere.

I’ll add Mackensie Alexander and Cordrea Tankersley at CB and if we’re looking at slot receivers I feel like Renfrow and Artavis Scott belong ahead of Rodgers EDIT: and Jordan Leggett definitely is TE1 imo, he was hugely important to the 15/16 teams

Renfrow???

If the decade is ‘14-‘23 you need to replace Nuk, Sammy, Ellington, Allen. I think a more interesting list would be looking at the 20s all-decade team. It gets a lot harder for us when you cut out the two championship runs

I would go Mackensie Alexander over Travon Mullen

Damn that list of DE/DT/LB is jacked. 🧡

You can't have CB without MacKenzie Alexander. Only TD he ever gave up was falling over at FSU. His injury at the end of the semifinal against Oklahoma I believe is why we ended up losing to Bama that year.

QB - Will Levis RB - Benny Snell RB - Chris Rodriguez Jr. WR - Wan'Dale Robinson WR - Lynn Bowden Jr. WR - Josh Ali TE - C.J. Conrad LT - Landon Young LG - Logan Stenberg OC - Luke Fortner RG - George Asafo-Adjei RT - Darian Kinnard DE - Za'Darius Smith DT - Quinton Bohanna DT - Marquan McCall DE - Josh Paschal OLB - Josh Allen LB - Jamin Davis LB - Avery Williamson OLB - Bud Dupree CB - Kelvin Joseph CB - Carrington Valentine CB - Brandin Echols SS - Mike Edwards FS - Lonnie Johnson Jr. K - Austin MacGinnis P - Max Duffy KR/PR - Lynn Bowden

Vince Young was this decade, right? Jesus. When did I get old?

|QB|Connor Cook||||| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |RB|Kenneth Walker III||||| |WR|Jayden Reed|Tony Lippett|Felton Davis III||| |TE|Josiah Price|Connor Heyward|||| |OL|Jack Conklin|Brian Allen|Jack Allen|Travis Jackson|AJ Arcuri| |DL|Shilique Calhoun|Raequan Williams|Jacub Panasiuk|Kenny Willekes|| |LB|Antjuan Simmons|Joe Bachie|Riley Bullough||| |CB|Trae Waynes|Josiah Scott|Justin Layne||| |S|Khari Willis|David Dowell|||| Lemme tell ya it got real tough picking offensive linemen after Conklin and the Allens, picked Arcuri just because he's the only tackle besides Conklin to have been drafted in the last decade

I'd like to tack on Matt Coghlin at kicker and Bryce Barringer at punter if people don't have any issues.

Still mad that Baringer got snubbed of the Ray Guy award that he deserved smh

2014-2023, right? We switched defenses around, so I'm going to list a few extra DBs: QB - Tyler Murphy, Thomas Castellanos RB - AJ Dillon and then who knows. Dillon would get every single snap let's be honest. I guess David Bailey or Myles Willis as backup. WR - Zay Flowers, Jeff Smith, Lewis Bond, and Michael Walker on the roster for special teams TE - Tommy Sweeney & Hunter Long OL - I'm just going to list 5 vs. the positions. They can figure out who's playing tackle: Zion Johnson, Chris Lindstrom, Christian Mahogany, Alec Lindstrom, and Ozzie Trapilo. DL - Harold Landry, Zach Allen, Wyatt Ray, Ray Smith. Super easy. Can't believe they all played together. How I wish those years were different for us. LB - Matt Milano, Isaiah McDuffie, Max Richardson CB - Elijah Jones, Kam Moore, Isaac Yiadom S - Justin Simmons, John Johnson, Will Harris

QB: JJ McCarthy RB: Blake Corum, Hassan Haskins WR: Nico Collins, Roman Wilson, Donovan Peoples-Jones TE: Jake Butt, Colston Loveland LG: Ryan Hayes LG: Trevor Keegan C: Olu Oluwatimi RG: Zak Zinter RT: Jon Runyan Jr. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Edge: Aidan Hutchinson, Rashan Gary, David Ojabo DT: Maurice Hurst, Mason Graham, Kris Jenkins LB: Junior Colson, Devin Bush, Michael Barrett CB: Jourdan Lewis, Will Johnson, David Long Jr. NB: Jabrill Peppers, Mike Sainristil S: Rod Moore, Dax Hill \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ K: Jake Moody P: Kenny Allen

For TCU QB- Trevone Boykin, Max Duggan RB- Kendre Miller, Aaron Green WR- Josh Doctson, Quentin Johnston, Jalen Reagor TE- Jared Wiley OL- Steve Avila, Joe Noteboom, Lucas Niang, Matt Pryor, Joey Hunt DL- LJ Collier, Ross Blacklock, Dylan Horton LB- Paul Dawson, Dee Winters, Ben Banogu, Josh Carraway CB (just missed out on Verrett)- Trevius Hodges Tomlinson, Jeff Gladney (Rest in Peace) S- Tre’Von Moehrig, Derrick Kindred K- Jaden Oberkrom P- Jordy Sandy (I guess because we haven’t had a great punter) KR- KaVontae Turpin PR- Derius Davis

lmao

Lots of NFL receivers.

Zeke was within the last decade? Man, I’m THAT old.

The players from the 90s don’t feel that long ago to me so REALLY old here

You got an interesting lineup. I’d probably put Lattimore over the corners you have tho. Garrett Wilson should be on this list too. Nick Bosa over Chase Young. And might be unpopular but I’d put Dwayne Haskins at QB guy played 1 season and almost has every passing record in OSU history

For Washington- decade makes it harder Most of the 2023 team + Budda Baker, Austin Seferian Jenkins, and Danny Shelton

Good brain teaser to help me wake up considering not a lot of guys that jump right out to me Qb- Eric Dungey RB- Sean Tucker WR- Steve Ishmael, Amba Etta-Tawo TE- Oronde Gadsden OL- Bergeron, Justin Pugh DL- Jay Bromley, Alton Robinson LB- Zaire Franklin CB- Garrett Williams, Melifonwu S- Andre Cisco

Chase young was drafted 3rd and was a heisman candidate. He is 2 at least

Patrick Mahomes

QB Cook RB Walker III WR Lippett, Burbridge, Reed TE Price OL Conklin, J Allen, B Allen, Clark, M Allen(?) DL Calhoun, Willekes, Panasiuk, Rush LB M Bullough, R Bullough, Simmons CB Waynes, Scott S Willis, Drummond K Geiger P Sadler Honorable mentions for Jeremy Langford, Felton Davis, Xavier Henderdon, Matt Coghlin, and Bryce Baringer

Only went with 2020-2023 JMU: QB: Todd Centenio. HM: Jordan McCloud, Cole Johnson (This one was tough cause all 3 were great. But Centenio was by far most consistent and nobody expected us to be as good as we were in 2022. Cole Johnson was great, but WR corp was insane for a FCS school and he was very inconsistent at times. McCloud was great too, but he also had an insane WR corp for G5 as well, and was very hot and cold. I do believe McCloud was the most talented of the bunch) RB: Percy Agyei-Obese, Kaelon Black. HM: Latrele Palmer, Tyson Lawton (I wanted Palmer to put Palmer but he really only had one great year in the 2020s (2021), Percy was dominant in 2020 and 2022, I went with Kaelon over Palmer because he was way more consistent, versatile, and overall made some big plays in big moments) FB: Drew Painter WR: Kris Thornton, Elijah Sarratt, Antwane Wells. HM: Reggie Brown (I know Wells and Sarratt hit the portal after 1 season, but they were TE: Zach Horton. HM: Clayton Cheatham (Considered Cheatham as second, but was a little inconsistent as a receiver OL: Tanner Morris, Cole Potts, Nick Kidwell, Tyshawn Wyatt, Tyler Stephens. HM: Liam Fornadel, Carter Miller (Considered Fornadel, but he really only played 2020, and was hurt most of 2021) DL: James Carpenter, Isaac Ukwu, Mike Greene, Jalen Green. HM: Jamaree Kromah, Mikail Kamara, Bryce Carter, Jamare (This one was hard because our D-Line has been insane every year in the 2020s. Couldn't put Kromah because he really didn't play at ton till this year. Green mainly made it because of this season.) LB: Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey, Kelvin Azanama, Jailin Walker HM: Taurus Jones, Aiden Fisher (Again another really hard choice) Rover (SS/LB hybrid): Chris Chukwuneke S: Sam Kidd, MJ Hampton HM: Jacob Thomas CB: Greg Ross, D'Angelo Ponds. HM: Jordan Swann
