Beat the Buckeyes!

#1.  THE McGLOIN:  Ya gotta start with this one folks! 

When you've got turkey and gravy in your refrigerator, there is no need to look any further.  My playbook calls for an open-faced hot turkey sandwich on brioche bread you can count on for a solid performance every time! 

~ Matthew McGloin, #11 (6'-1"/209).

#2.  THE ROYSTER.  Nothing fancy, all business.   "This is what I'm takin' about"...

my all-time favorite sandwich.  The classic club sandwich.  Three thin slices of my brioche, turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise!  There is nothing "up the middle" about this!

~ Evan Royster, #22 (6'1"/228).

#3.  THE SMITH.  Small, slick and make-my-day swift!

Serve up some crostini.  Grilled baguette slices layered with apple butter, shaved red onion, turkey, thin sliced apple and grated Gouda cheese.  Broil until the Gouda melts, top with another dollop of apple butter and glide into the appetizer end zone!

~ Devon Smith, #20 (5'7"/157).

#4.  THE WISNIEWSKI.  A big, strong, well-seasoned  man who always gets his job done!

Hold the girly green lettuce leaves and tomatoe slices.  Give 'em a grilled 4-pepper goat cheese, bacon and turkey thigh panini-roll sandwich (onions optional)!

~ Stefen Wisniewski, #61, Senior (6'3"/306). 

#5.  THE WAGNER.  This one just doesn't miss!

This crowd pleasing focaccia bread is layered with creamy horseradish sauce, grated Havarti cheese, shaved red onion, bacon, turkey, baby greens and sliced tomato.  Kick another one between those uprights and serve me and the rest of the crowd another slice of the three point pie!

~ Collin Wagner, #36 (5'9"/183).

For The Glory!
