Which John Cooper-Era Buckeye Would Guarantee a Title for Ohio State? | Buckeye Weekly Podcast On the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr kick off a series revisiting past Ohio State eras by debating which John Cooper-era players they’d add to the current Buckeyes to best ensure a national championship. Both agree Orlando Pace is the obvious top choice and discuss where he’d play on today’s offensive line, calling him possibly the best Ohio State player they’ve ever seen. They then consider other additions, including David Boston alongside Jeremiah Smith and other receivers, plus options like Terry Glenn and Joey Galloway. On defense they highlight Dan “Big Daddy” Wilkinson and discuss adding Antoine Winfield, along with mentions of Shawn Springs and Andy Katzenmoyer. They also float Eddie George at running back, Ricky Dudley at tight end, a return of a fullback, and Mike Vrabel at defensive end, then invite viewer suggestions and promote their YouTube channel and buckeyeinsiders.com. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:52 Orlando Pace No Brainer 03:23 Adding David Boston 04:58 Glenn or Galloway Debate 06:40 Big Daddy in the Middle 08:25 Eddie George Power Back 09:30 Winfield and Secondary Upgrades 11:21 Fullback and Dudley Ideas 12:56 Vrabel and Katzenmoyer Fit 14:25 Wrap Up and Subscribe
