OSU vs. LSU, a side-by-side position comparison

Here's how the two top teams match up by position. The obvious edge goes to OSU, but that doesn't necessarily mean one team is overall better than the other. Also, check out Zombie Nation's full BCS National Championship Preview.

QB-LSU get's the QB edge due to Ryan Perrilloux.
RB-Chris Wells is head-and-shoulders better than all LSU backs combined.
WR-LSU only really has one good WR. Holliday is more of a slasher.
OL-Duh.
CB-Only a slight edge to Malcolm Jenkins and Co.
S-Craig Steltz has bailed out LSU numerous times.
LB-OSU has much more than just Laurinaitis. LSU only has Highsmith.
DL-If Dorsey is healthy, this one's a runaway, but don't underestimate Gholston.
K-Tressel's teams are built on this aspect.
P-Same with this one, too. Trappasso will go pro.
C-Although conservative Mr. Sweatervest can be dull, he knows how to win the big ones when it counts. 2006 was just one game.
E-Nearly all of OSU's players saw action in last year's BCS title game.
H-LSU's been banged up since September.
Cr-This one is only a sliver away from going OSU, but in New Orleans, LSU is comfy.
