But then again the Big 10 is overrated. The 2nd best team last year was Illinois and they got waxed in the Rose Bowl. I like how he gave up 2 TD's to the TE. It is funny. Keep beating up on those CUPCAKES you 6-1 233lb Coverage MLB. I like how he gives up a yard or 2 after contact on almost every tackle. Geno Hayes is a better LB than him. Also Tressel is OVERRATED. If it wasn't for 6 Turnovers, McGahee getting hurt and the Phantom PASS INTERFERENCE call... He would be 0-3 in National Championship Games. Be glad the zebra saved his ass. No I am not a Miami fan but an Arch Rival FSU!!! Yes I know my team has had its problems you don't need to bring it up. He is overrated just like Tebow. But then again the Big 10 is overrated.

He is horrible, but manages to impress the stat gurus in beating up on the sisters of the poor.

I have said since Lauranitis succeed Hawk for the Buckeyes, that his talent and overall impact were no match for his predecessor. At least sfive linebackers have played the position better in the intervening three decades. Lauranitis is out of position on many plays---likes to drop deep and cover wide-outs instead of the tight end over the middle and is virtually a non-factor on draw plays or quick hitters up the middle. Maybe its partly attributed to Heycock's mediocre defensive scheme, but as ESPN analyst and formr Buckeye linebacker stud, hris Spielman noted at the OU fiasco, JL does lack consistent and sustainable intensity. I have no doubt James is a great young man, but he;s only a good linebacker---and certainly not even close to a Butkus Award winner with his performance thus far this year....

In any case good attempt but unfortunately you come up short in your argument based on one game. I break down every Ohio State game for my website and provide video clips to illustrate my points. Laurinaitis is an excellent linebacker... is he the best of all time at OSU? Of course not... but he is talented nonetheless. The only thing that Laurinaitis is guilty of is playing for Ohio State and well everyone loves to have Ohio State these days.

Football season is in the air! I continue to stand by what I said, and JL is still on my radar until proven otherwise. But this year I will of course be rooting for him and hope he tears the Big Ten and SC up! Those NFL experts did a great job with Bobby Carpenter too. Time will tell.... there is much work to do for our big games. Ahh, I love all the traffic coming to this page lately. Football season is in the air!
