Phil literally stole all of my thunder with Tupa’s accolades. Can you imagine being a defensive coordinator trying to prepare for Tupa back there on 4th down?

There’s really not a ton of high-end players to choose from, but a starting quarterback that threw for almost 2,000 yards and is arguably the best punter in Ohio State history qualifies here. Also, sending Earle Bruce out as a winner has to count for something.

By the way, he also threw a couple of touchdown passes in relief of Vinny Testaverde for the Jets. Have fun reminiscing.
