Welcome to Glory Years, where we rank the top individual seasons in Ohio State football history.
As football has changed shape over the years, different position groups have occupied different roles. While the role of defensive ends has always been to beat their man and hold the edge, modern football has increasingly called on ends to rush the quarterback. This is a major shift from the ends of years' past, who were often among the team's leading tacklers.
As the years have changed, so has the way to evaluate the play in the trenches. While it is easier than ever to evaluate talent in the trenches, it can still be difficult to look back towards our past.
