James Laurinaitis Back-to-Back Butkus
 

He's just a monster. Last week against Illinois was a highlight reel. 8 tackles, 1.5 for loss, .5 sack, pass defensed, forced fumble and a QB hurry.

For the season the numbers are gaudy: 109 tackles, 4.5 for loss, 3 sacks, 2 picks, and 4 passes broken up. OSU played the 8th most difficult schedule this year, and obviously Laurinaitis is constantly being keyed on, and he still puts up monster stats week after week.

(Edit) with two games left to play, he'll almost assuredly have a better season statistically in '08
