Make it a clean sweep for the Ohio State football team. At least in the preseason anyways. The Buckeyes tabbed the favorite to win the conference this year. Two players honored individually. Running back Chris Wells, selected as the preseason offensive player of the year. That coming off a sophomore year which saw Wells rush for over 1600 yards and 15 touchdowns. On the opposite side of the football, linebacker James Laurinaitis is the preseason pick for defensive player of the year. Ohio State returns a conference best 20 starters in the hopes of winning its fourth straight Big Ten Title.
