I went back and forth behind Eric Kumerow and Bobby Hoying, but in the end, I have to agree with Mark. Hoying was the engine that made a very potent offense go in 1995 and is pretty high up the program list on passing stats at Ohio State — well before the spread offenses and uptempo style began to take hold.
He was a three-time All-Big Ten performer, and for much of the year in ’95, was in the Heisman discussion. He had an ability to go through his progressions and push the ball down the field right when Ohio State started to emerge under John Cooper.
