We rank the top 10 plays of the 2021 Ohio State football season

We rank our top 10 plays from the 2021 football season. What’s your top play?

The roses are all wilted by now and there is a new college football national champion. With the season officially over, we thought it might be fun to take a look back at the 2021 football season and take a look at some of the highlights of a record-breaking season.

Yes, it may have been disappointing not to be in the College Football Playoff,  and I do think it would have been interesting to see how Ohio State’s offense matched up against Georgia’s defense. However, the Rose Bowl wasn’t a bad consolation prize and gave us what was probably the most exciting football game of the year.

So let’s take a look back at some memorable moments that will leave lasting impressions on Buckeye fans for years to come.

Four Ohio State football players make USA TODAY’s Preseason All-American Team

USA TODAY has spoken! Do you agree with these picks? Who might be missing?

We are just a few weeks away from the start of the Ohio State and college football season and all the preseason predictions and watchlists have started to calm down just a wee bit as everyone gets ready to kick off the season.

However, there are still a few of them out there, and the latest comes from USA TODAY, with its Preseason College Football All-American Teams. It’s college football, so you would expect there to be some OSU players mentioned, and that is definitely the case. In fact, all told, there are four Buckeyes across both the First and Second Teams.

But who are they? You can probably guess which players made it on the list based on previous notoriety, but we’ll go through it here for you.

Garrett Wilson named to the Paul Hornung award watch list

Garrett Wilson just keeps racking up the preseason accolades.

The parade of preseason college football award watch lists for Ohio State players continues with the announcement of the Paul Hornung Award watch list

The Hornung Award has only been around since 2010 and is awarded to the college football player judged to be the most versatile. And when we talk about the Buckeyes, that can be none other than wide receiver/kick returner Garrett Wilson.

For Wilson, it’s yet another preseason accolade. He’s already appeared on the Maxwell and Biletnikoff watch lists as well as being named to the Big Ten Preseason Honors list. He has also found his way onto a few preseason All-American mentions.

A junior, Wilson is one of the most dangerous wide receivers in the country. He had 43 catches for 723 yards and six touchdowns as a receiver and had two carries for 67 yards in a very abbreviated season. He is also the team’s main returner in the kicking game, though those opportunities have become less of an impact in today’s game with the ability to fair-catch and bring the ball out to a decent position on the field.

 

The winner of the 2021 Paul Hornung Award will be announced as part of the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show scheduled to be held on December 9, 2021. There has never been an Ohio State player take home the Hornung Award in its 11-year history.
