Lets review, shall we?

2002, U-M 9 OSU 14, Clarrett was the offensive, what happens in that game if they didn't have him?

2004, U-M 21 OSU 37, Should Troy Smith have been eligible to play that game? He was clearly the difference.

2005, U-M 21 OSU 25, see previous reason (Hint: Troy Smith)

2006, U-M 39 OSU 42, see previous reason (Hint: Troy Smith)

2007, U-M 3 TSIO 14, while Michigan's three offensive stars were hurt, who *should* have been ineligible for OSU?

How many OSU players should have been ineligible for these games? How many difference makers? Were they at OSU because of lax supervision and player perks? Was the deck stacked with players who should have been ineligible? Would Tressel be 9-1 without them? Food for thought.
