**Author's note: I erred earlier in the countdown and today. I am posting the correct player for No. 91 below. My apologies for this mistake and the future mistakes I am sure to make.**
There are 91 days that separate us from Ohio State's march to Blacksburg. To help pass the time until the Buckeyes put the Sandman to sleep I will countdown Ohio State's top 100 players according to the rubric* listed at the bottom of this article.

ROBY'S OHIO STATE CAREER PER THE OHIO STATE TEAM GUIDE:
Ohio State Overview: 2012 first-team All-American (ESPN.com)
Bradley Roby is a talented, athletic and fast (consistent 4.3 40s)
cornerback who has started all 25 games the past two seasons... expect this fourth-year junior, who has five career interceptions
in addition to 23 pass break-ups, to be one of the best, if not the
best, cornerback in the nation in 2013 …Roby was a semifinalist for the Thorpe Award in 2012 when he led the nation in passes defended with 19 (17 pass break-ups, which tied the OSU single season record, and two interceptions) and 1.73 per game…
was named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press and Walter Camp … a first-team all-Big Ten Conference performer by both the coach and media polls...
Roby was the only defensive player in the nation last year to score touchdowns three different ways (recovered a fumbled punt in the end zone vs. Miami; he recovered a blocked punt in the end zone vs. Indiana; and he intercepted a pass vs. Nebraska and returned it for a touchdown)…
he blocked a punt in the one-point win at Michigan State and he was third on the team in tackles with 63.
