I went with Gross-Matos - he really wore OSU out.  Didn't get to see much of Iowa this year.

It was a tossup between him and Epenesa for me.

I voted Gross-Matos for the same reason as you, eye test.  But looking at the numbers, I think I went the wrong way.

I think Eppy and YGM in any order is fine. Both clearly behind Young, but both players that need to be game-planned around.

I don't remember the exact date I saw the PFF stat but somewhere around the middle of the season, Eppy led the league in pressures but only had 3 sacks. His outside move is devastating, but he lacks the bend at the top to get to a QB that can step up in the pocket.

If you watch more of the rest of the season, you will see he's been getting to the QB just as much, if not more, when they move him inside. My guess it has to do with everything you say here. If you watch the Nebby highlights, both of his sacks came at the expense of confused interior lineman.

Also, 2 of his sacks vs Minny also came from the DT spot.

Ditto.  Two awesome players.
