I'm trying to recall a LB in recent OSU history that had this level of consistent excellence/dominance.  I know it's still just a 7 game sample and matchups with Penn State and TTUN will really tell his tale.

  Ryan Shazier is one who comes to mind.  But I can't recall if he really was the terror week after week that Tommy has been so far.

We certainly have had some great LBs in the past couple of decades.  Raekwon M, Jerome Baker, A.J. Hawk, Bobby Carpenter, Little Animal, etc. 

Is it my recency bias or has Tommy been playing at a totally different level at LB that I can't recall seeing since Katzenmoyer's time and then back to Spielman.
