Ohio St consistently had top 10 classes under Tressel but I think every single Urban class was at least top 5 (if not top 3).Ohio state put an insane number of players into the NFL long before Urban. I just assumed that Urban's secret sauce was actually preparation and in-game coaching.
Was Urban's talent that much better than Tressel's? You probably remember the 2007 NCG; was Florida really 27 pts better than OSU?
That 2007 title game was a combo of Troy Smith getting fat after winning the Heisman, Ohio St buying into their own hype, motivation for UF since a lot of "experts" thought we didn't belong, and supposedly a fight in the Ohio St locker room when Anthony Gonzalez found out that Troy Smith banged his GF.
As an aside, 20/22 of our starters in that game were Zook recruited upperclassmen.
