Freaks of the Industry

Andre Wadsworth doesn’t get enough credit for Ohio State’s 2002 BCS title.

John Cooper watched in awe as Wadsworth, Greg Spires, Julian Pittman and the rest of Florida State's defensive front devoured his offense for the majority of the 1998 Sugar Bowl. Stanley Jackson and Joe Germaine combined for six interceptions that night. They also took six sacks, most of them excessively violent.

The Southern Speed (this is was the original term in the 1990s prior to the SEC holding it hostage) was on full display and undeniable. Wadsworth - somehow originally a walk-on - also had one of those interceptions.
