On the game last night Spielman was asked to name his choices for the 3 greatest OSU defensive players of all-time. His answer, 3) Cousineau, 2) Tatum, 1) Winfield.
There are so many greats to choose from, and being an old fart, I am probably biased towards players I grew up with, but I would go with: 3) Tatum, 2) Spielman, 1) Gradishar.
I do believe that James Laurinaitis is the only OSU defensive player to be a 3-time All-American, but again I am blinded by memories.
Your thoughts?
