If you could go into a lab and find a way to revive any Ohio State football player from history to field a team of the best at each position during their college careers, what players would you pick? That’s the exercise we went through in picking an all-time roster for a program that has more than a few iconic players to choose from.
In other words, not every all-time roster is created equal, and you’d be hard-pressed to find one as good as what you could throw out there in a flurry of scarlet and gray accolades.
But back to the task at hand? Who would you pick to round out an-all time roster including starters and backups? Would you agree with what we came up with here on Buckeyes Wire?
There are tough decisions to make, and some very, very, very good players that didn’t quite make the cut. We started with the offensive side of the ball and will also bring you the defense as well as the coaches and specialists.
Here are the Buckeye greats we selected for an all-time offense on the banks of the Olentangy.
