6 2014: the 125th season COLUMBUS, Ohio The 2014 season represents the 125th football season in the storied history of the program. Varsity football was first played on the campus of The Ohio State University in the spring of The first recorded game in program history came on May 3 of that year, a win over Ohio Wesleyan University in a game played on a field in Delaware, Ohio, and some 21 years after the first intercollegiate football game in the United States between Rutgers and Princeton. Ohio State football has since gone on to achieve remarkable successes, including... Winning seven national championships, including four AP national championships (1942, 1954, 1968, 2002). Recording he fifth-most wins (849) in Division I history and the fifth-highest winning percentage (.717); Playing in 43 bowl games, including 14 Rose Bowls, and alltime highs for BCS bowl games (nine) and BCS wins (five); Capturing 34 Big Ten Conference championships; Having 24 former players enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame and seven enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame; Posting a record 821 appearances in the AP poll and the thirdmost appearances at No. 1: 94; Celebrating the most Heisman Trophy winners (7; tied with USC and Notre Dame); and Developing the second-most National Football Foundation & Hall of Fame Scholarship winners (20) along with 36 Academic All-Americans. qb BRAXTON MILLER wr devin smith te jeff heuerman dt michael bennett cb doran grant lb curtis grant 4

7 URBAN MEYER: 24-2 AT OHIO STATE Urban Meyer, the two-time national champion coach who has the highest winning percentage.837; of any active coach with at least 10 years of experience, is in his third season as Ohio State coach. He is 24-2 overall and 16-0 in Big Ten Conference games. His Buckeyes set a school record with a 24-game winning streak (fourth-longest in Big Ten history) and Meyer became the first coach in major college history to win 20-or-more consecutive games on three different occasions. His teams have finished atop the Leaders Division in the Big Ten in each of the past two seasons. TWO MORE STREAKS IN PLAY Ohio State's all-time winning streak may have ended, but the 2014 Ohio State team can make additional winning streak history. The Big Ten Conference records for regular season wins (28; Michigan and Ohio State ) and regular season Big Ten wins (20; Ohio State ) are each in play with Ohio State idling on 24 consecutive regular season wins. These won't be easy streaks to top: unbeaten Ohio State would have to win at Maryland Oct. 4 and at Michigan State Nov. 8 to set new marks. MILLER: BACK-TO-BACK Big ten's BEST Senior quarterback Braxton Miller repeated in 2013 as the winner of the Chicago Tribune Silver Football as the Big Ten's Most Valuable Player, the Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year and the Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year. Miller has more Big Ten individual awards than any player in league history. Ohio State's Orlando Pace is second with five individual awards with Wisconsin's Montee Ball and Indiana's Anthony Thompson tied for third with four apiece.

A total of 12 starters off the 2013 team s offense (five) and defense (seven) return. Returning starters from an offense that set a Big Ten record for most rushing yards (4,321), ranked fifth nationally in rushing (308.6 yards per game) and shattered school records for points scored (637), touchdowns (87) and touchdown passes (38) are senior quarterback Braxton Miller, senior tight end Jeff Heuerman, senior receivers Devin Smith and Evan Spencer, and junior tackle Taylor Decker. OT taylor decker WR evan spencer RB rod smith TE nick vannett 5

8 The seven returnees on defense include everyone who started along the front line senior Michael Bennett, juniors Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington and sophomore Joey Bosa plus linebackers Curtis Grant, a senior, and junior Joshua Perry (who shared starts with nickel back/safety Tyvis Powell), and senior cornerback Doran Grant. Sophomore punter Cameron Johnston, who led the Big Ten in punting with a 44.0 average, also returns. FOUR NEWS STARTERS ALONG O-LINE The Buckeyes have powered for 7,228 rushing yards a yards per game average and 82 rushing touchdowns in two seasons under Urban Meyer, a rush total that only seven schools can top. The foundation of this success has been an offensive line that is now void of four upperclassmen all of whom are in NFL training camps and their 135 combined starts. It s time to restock up front. LB joshua perry DL noah spence Junior Taylor Decker started all 14 games at right tackle last year and is the new leader of the pack. He moved to left tackle this spring. Sophomore Pat Elflein, who played well in three quarters vs. Michigan and in a start against Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game, is tested and proven at one guard position. Jacoby Boren and Darryl Baldwin have some game experience the last two seasons at center and tackle, respectively. Nine additional scholarship linemen will be vying for playing time, including Antonio Underwood, who is returning after missing the 2013 season, Kyle Dodson, Billy Price and Joel Hale, who has moved from the defensive line. Also: Chad Lindsay, a 20-game veteran and fourgame starter for two-time national champion Alabama, has arrived at Ohio State after graduating from Alabama last year. spirited competition everywhere Braxton Miller didn't take a snap this spring as he had surgery on his throwing shoulder. Cardale Jones, a third-year sophomore who was on the field for all of 39 plays in three games last year, and redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett, therefore, had plenty of opportunities to perform in the competition for the No. 2 position. Jones looks to be No. 2. Sophomore Ezekiel Elliott s 30 carries (for 262 yards and an 8.7 per carry average) were the most last year of any returning running back, a testament to his skill, savvy and practice habits, but he ll be challenged hard by a slew of veterans for this open position. Rod Smith is a fifth-year senior who has gained 448 yards with a 5.4 per carry average and is a solid 6-3 and 232 pounds. A couple of thirdyear sophomores will also be mixing it up at the position: Bri onte Dunn and Warren Ball. And speedster Dontre Wilson, a running back who also played H-back last year and averaged 13.2 yards with every touch of the football, is bound to be bigger, better and stronger in his second season. He averaged 8.1 yards off 31 carries, 15.0 yards off 22 receptions and 24.9 yards on kickoff returns plus scored three times as a freshman. EVAN & DEVIN RETURN AT WR Seniors Devin Smith and Evan Spencer return as starting wide receivers with 22 and 15 starts, respectively, but the juice will be loose with this position group that is loaded with talented players eager to play and who either red-shirted (Michael Thomas, Corey DL adolphus washington DL joey bosa Smith and Jalin Marshall), sat out (Jeff Greene) or were in high school (Johnny Dixon, Curtis Samuel, Noah Brown, Parris Campbell and Terry McLaurin) last season. Smith has speed and experience 88 receptions for 1,572 yards and 18 touchdowns on his resume and Spencer, although he won t play this spring, has consistently been lauded for his downfield blocking and football awareness. He has 37 career catches and four touchdowns. Ohio State boasts two outstanding, veteran tight ends in senior Jeff Heuerman (22 starts; 35 receptions for 585 yards and five touchdowns) and fourth-year junior Nick Vannett. Both are in the 6-6, 250-pound range. A foundation to build upon Defensive coordinator Luke Fickell has a couple new assistants on his side of the ball to work with and a line that will anchor the defense. Every lineman returns from a 2013 unit that registered a combined 53 tackles for loss, including 31 quarterback sacks. Tackle Michael Bennett (11.5 TFLs and 7.0 sacks) is the only senior among this group and he is a force on and off the field. First-team all-big Ten junior end Noah Spence (14.5 and 8.0, respectively) is a 12-game starter and junior Adolphus Washington (4.0 and 2.0, respectively) is a formidable performer at 6-4 and 295 pounds. Physical sophomore Joey Bosa (13.5 and 7.5, respectively) was a freshman All-American during a 2013 season in which he started 10 games. Senior Steve Miller and juniors Tommy Schutt and Chris Carter have all played well and had their moments in back-up rolls. 6

9 Just three LB/DB starters return Linebacker and the defensive backfield areas each lost an All- American performer to early application into the NFL Draft: Ryan Shazier and Bradley Roby. Both standouts and their incredible playmaking abilities will be missed. Senior Curtis Grant is the man in the middle at linebacker and is coming off his most productive season with 12 starts, 52 tackles, including four tackles-for-loss, and a pair of pass break-ups. Joshua Perry, fourth on the team with 64 tackles last year, has significant experience 10 starts at outside linebacker and the junior continued to improve as the season progressed. Junior Camren Williams and sophomore Tre Johnson also had game action, with Williams in on 10 tackles in a start at Illinois. Young players have already started making noise at linebacker. Having fine springs were second-year peformers Darron Lee and Chris Worley and true freshman Raekwon McMillan, the nation's No. 1 middle linebacker recruit last season Ohio Mr. Football Dante Booker and fellow frosh Kyle Berger are also new to the program. DORAN GRANT A FEATURE CB The secondary will feature a talented senior and 15-game starter in cornerback Doran Grant, and a quartet of young players eager for more time. Grant was second on the team last season with three interceptions and 10 pass break-ups, and he was a top five tackler on the team with 58 stops, including 43 solos. Junior Armani Reeves, who started the first two games of the season and the Discover Orange Bowl in place of Roby, played plenty in between and is the only other cornerback with game experience, now that Cam Burrows, who played in 12 games last season but mostly on special teams, has moved to safety. Reeves had seven pass break-ups and an interception last season, in addition to 26 tackles. Sophomores Tyvis Powell and Vonn Bell are poised to make noise at safety this year. Powell played 732 snaps from scrimmage last season and started five times while playing as the team s nickel back. He made 48 tackles plus the game-deciding play against Michigan: intercepting a two-point conversion attempt with seconds left to play. Bell was an outstanding special teamer last season who managed a modest 70 snaps on defense through the first 13 games. And then he started against Clemson in the Discover Orange Bowl and performed well: registering seven solo tackles and an end zone interception while playing 78 plays from scrimmage. Burrows, who played 124 snaps on defense as a freshman cornerback last season, will vie for playing time at safety along with fourth-year junior Ron Tanner, considered among the best tacklers on the team. Tanner had his first significant action on defense last season 56 snaps and had an interception against Buffalo. Special teamers Cameron Johnston had an outstanding freshman season punting, leading the Big Ten in average but also leading the nation in percentage of punts downed inside the 20 (31 of 49; 63 pct.). He returns, as does Bryce Haynes, who has shared long-snapping duties the past two seasons. A battle for Drew Basil s kicking responsibilities will take place among third-year walk-on senior Kyle Clinton and freshman Sean Nuernberger.

The wins and championships are well documented. The efforts that Meyer and his staff engage their student-athletes in to ensure they are prepared for life after football are equally important. resume BUILDERS For instance, Meyer devotes Wednesday afternoons in the spring as a time for guest speakers CEOs, professional athletes, senior leaders from athletics, national media and former Buckeyes to address the team in a life experiences forum called Real Life Wednesdays.

12 HEAD COACH URBAN MEYER make the great state of ohio proud Born in Toledo, raised in Ashtabula and with degrees from Cincinnati and Ohio State, Meyer made it clear from the day he took the Ohio State position - Nov. 28, what his intentions are: We re going to make the great state of Ohio proud with everything we do. Ohio is proud and Meyer, named the 2012 Ohio College Coach of the Year by his coaching peers in the state, has the proven deeds to keep the state beaming. Consider: Meyer has the highest winning percentage among all active FBS coaches with at least 10 years of experience (128-25;.837); He has the fourth-highest winning percentage all-time among FBS college coaches and he has the 10th best winning percentage among all coaches in college football history; He has won two national championships, one of only two active coaches with multiple national titles; He is the first coach in modern history to win 13 games consecutively, and three times, and he has also won 12 games three different times; Ohio State s 12-0 record in 2012 was the second undefeated season for Meyer, who also went 12-0 at Utah in 2004; Meyer is the only coach in major college history to have three winning streaks of at least 20 games (22 at Florida; 20 with Utah/ Florida; 25 with Florida and Ohio State), and he has five winning streaks of 10-or-more games. Only nine coaches have had two winning streaks of at least 20 games; Meyer won more games his first 10 years than all but two coaches in college football history; and He reached 100 wins faster than all but one coach Bud Wilkinson in the last 55 years and faster than all but five coaches all-time. Meyer made history in his first season as Ohio State coach in 2012, guiding the Scarlet and Gray to only the sixth undefeated and untied season in school history with a 12-0 record and also to a Big Ten Conference Leaders Division championship. He was awarded the Woody Hayes Trophy as national Coach of the Year by the Touchdown Club of Columbus. He was also a finalist for four additional national Coach of the Year Awards: the FWAA s Eddie Robinson Award, the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year, the Paul Bear Bryant and the Bobby Bowden Coach of the Year awards. The winning and the making history continued for Meyer and the Buckeyes in Year 2, with Ohio State extending its winning streak to school-record status (24 games) and ultimately finishing a 12-2 season with a second consecutive Big Ten Leaders Division title, a berth into the Big Ten championship game and an invite to the Discover Orange Bowl. Rewriting Records Ohio State has averaged 37.2 and 45.5 points per game in Meyer s two seasons as coach and the team s offense has been among the best in the nation each year. In 2013 Ohio State ranked third nationally in scoring and fifth nationally in rushing. And in 2012 the Buckeyes ranked 10th nationally in rushing and 21st in scoring. School records are falling fast. In 2013 alone, 12 single season records were broken, including most rushing yards in a season (4,321 yards, which also is a Big Ten Conference record), most passing touchdowns (38), most total touchdowns (82), and most total offensive yards (7,167), yards per play (7.1) and yards per game (511.9). 24th Coach in Ohio State History Meyer, who is in his 28th season as a collegiate coach, is married to the former Shelley Mather. The couple are proud parents to daughters Nicki (a 2013 graduate of Georgia Tech) and GiGi (a senior volleyball player majoring in athletic training at Florida Gulf Coast) and a son, Nate (a high school freshman in ). Meyer became the 24th head coach in the storied history of Ohio State football when he signed a six-year agreement to coach the Buckeyes on Nov. 28, He was the only candidate interviewed by a five-member search committee of senior Ohio State leaders, headed by then-president E. Gordon Gee and Director of Athletics Gene Smith. Meyer returned to collegiate coaching in 2012 after sitting out the 2011 season to devote time to his family and to work as an analyst for ESPN. In Urban Meyer we have found an exemplary person and remarkable coach to lead the University s football program into the future, Gee said. As an alumnus, he understands and believes in the core academic mission of the University. As an Ohioan, he shares our common values and sense of purpose. Smith said that Meyer is known not only as one of the nation s most successful coaches, but also as a leader and mentor who cares deeply about the young men who are his student-athletes. He brings with him an understanding of the University both the important traditions of its football program and the excellence of the institution. It s easy to see why he was the No. 1 choice of the search committee. Meyer has already won two national championships in 2006 and 2008 with the University of Florida and no less than three national coach of the year honors, including The Sporting News honor in 2003 and the Eddie Robinson and Home Depot Coach of the Year awards, respectively, in

13 HEAD COACH URBAN MEYER Meyer has not only won big at each of his three previous head coaching positions, but he has won immediately. He led Bowling Green to the best turnaround season in the nation in 2001 with an 8-3 record and he went 9-3 in Year 2. He was 22-2 in two seasons at Utah, including a 16-game winning streak and a 12-0 campaign in 2004 when he led the first-ever non-bowl Championship Season program into a BCS game. He was in his six seasons at Florida with the two national titles, two Southeastern Conference championships and three 13- win seasons, including consecutive 13-win seasons in 2008 and 2009 to become the first coach ever to accomplish that feat. And now he has led his home state school he has lived in Ohio for 27 years and it is where he met Shelley, who grew up in Frankfort, Ohio. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to return to Ohio State, said Meyer upon being hired. This University and the state of Ohio have enormous meaning to me. My duty is to ensure that Ohio State s football program reflects and enhances the academic mission of the institution. I am part of it, I believe in it, and I will live it. It was during his time as a Buckeye when he forged a relationship with Bruce that has only been strengthened through the tests of time and change. My relationship with him [Earle] is extremely close, second only to my father, Meyer said during the news conference to announce his hiring at Ohio State 17 days after his father, Bud, passed away. Every step of my career, every part of my family life, Coach Bruce has always been there. So close that he was gracious enough to speak at my father s funeral just last Friday. Meyer, as every young coach who aspires to be a head coach and who thirsts for knowledge, then moved on to a series of assistant coaching positions Illinois State for two years under Jim Heacock, Colorado State for six years under Sonny Lubick and Bruce, and Notre Dame for one year under Lou Holtz and five years under Bob Davie before getting his first head coaching assignment at Bowling Green. First Year: Coach of the Year Taking over a team that was 2-9 in 2000 and that had not had a winning season seven years, Meyer guided the Falcons to the top turnaround in the nation in 2001 with a six-win improvement and an 8-3 record that included wins over Missouri, Northwestern and BGSU s rival to its north, Toledo. He was named Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year. He followed that first year with a 9-3 record in his second season with the Falcons, including another win over Missouri. After BGSU opened the season with eight consecutive wins, the program cracked both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Top 25 polls for the first time in school history, peaking with an all-time school best No. 16 national ranking by ESPN/USA Today. It all Started in Ohio After graduating from Saint John High School in Ashtabula, Meyer was a 13th-round MLB draft pick of the Atlanta Braves and spent two years in minor league baseball. He matriculated to Cincinnati and played defensive back for the football program, graduating in 1986 with his bachelor s degree in psychology. Meyer s first football coaching experience was as an intern at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati in The following year, he joined Coach Earle Bruce s staff at Ohio State and spent two years as a graduate assistant coaching tight ends in 1986 and receivers in 1987 while pursuing his master s degree in sports administration. Ohio State won a Big Ten title in 1986 and 1987 was Bruce s final season as coach. Meyer s BGSU teams were anything but one-dimensional. His 2002 team led the nation in red zone production with 61 scores in 63 trips inside the 20 (.968) and was ninth in total offense (448.9 yards per game). Defensively, his 2001 team ranked first in the MAC in scoring, rushing and total defense and his teams led the MAC both years in turnover margin. Made Players Believers Josh Harris, who became a starter at quarterback in the ninth game of the 2001 season and reeled off 11 consecutive wins as a starter, told Plain Dealer reporter Elton Alexander that his former coach simply made players believe they were as good as any other team. One thing for sure, when coach Meyer believes in a guy, he might even believe in him more than the guy believes in himself, Harris said. There was a time when I had to get my belief in Josh Harris up to where Urban Meyer believed that Josh Harris was. That really propelled me, and my game, to new levels. That s one of the things he did for me that I will always be thankful for. 11

14 HEAD COACH URBAN MEYER The Move Out West Meyer moved on to the University of Utah following the 2002 season and in two seasons led the Utes to a 22-2 record. He was named national Coach of the Year in 2003 by The Sporting News and in 2004 he was named the Football Writers Association of America s Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year and the Home Depot Coach of the Year. In his first season in Salt Lake City, Meyer coached the Utes to their first outright conference championship since 1957, a 17-0 Liberty Bowl win over Southern Mississippi, and a final national ranking of No. 21. In addition to his national coach of the year honor by The Sporting News, Meyer was named Mountain West Conference coach of the year and thus became the first coach in Utah s 111-year football history to earn such an honor in his first year. Utah then enjoyed the finest season in program history in The 12-0 record was the first 12-0 season in 75 years and a secondconsecutive outright MWC championship represented the first consecutive championships by one school in conference history. The Utah offense was unstoppable, finishing in the Top 5 in six categories, including No. 3 in scoring (45.3), total offense (499.7) and turnover margin (1.25). The team also led the MWC in 11 statistical categories and was No. 2 in passing, scoring and total defense. Following Utah s 16th consecutive win, a 35-7 pummeling of Pitt in the Fiesta Bowl, Meyer s record was a sterling 39-7 as a head coach and he was established as a proven winner. And the University of Florida was in need of a coach. Meyer s Year 2 success he was a combined 21-3 in his second season at Bowling Green and Utah continued in Gainesville as he led the Gators to a school-record 13 wins, and SEC and national championships against the toughest schedule in the nation. Florida played six ranked teams and 11 of its opponents went to bowl games. The BCS Championship game win: over No. 1 ranked Ohio State in Glendale, Ariz. Meyer was named national Coach of the Year by the All-American Foundation at the conclusion of the season. The 2007 Gator team went 9-3 and featured a Heisman Trophywinning Tim Tebow and ranked third nationally with an average of 42.5 points per game. Consecutive 13-win seasons followed in 2008 and 2009, a first in major college history. The 2008 team was the most prolific offensive unit in SEC history with 611 points scored against the nation s second-toughest schedule. Meyer won a second national championship this season, with Florida defeating Oklahoma, 24-14, in the BCS Championship game in Miami, Fla. The only blemish on an otherwise spectacular season was to eventual national champion Alabama in the SEC championship game. This Florida team s senior class departed with the best record for a class in SEC history: Meyer, who took a brief leave of absence from coaching following the 2009 season, coached his last Florida team to an 8-5 record in His last game as Florida coach was win over Penn State in the Outback Bowl, in Tampa, Fla. Back Home to Ohio On Wednesday, Nov. 23, Ohio State Director of Athletics Gene Smith first talked to Meyer about returning to coaching after spending the year in an ESPN analyst booth. On Sunday, Nov. 27, Smith presented Meyer with terms for a six-year contract. Less than 24 hours later Meyer was a Buckeye. And the rest of this story is future history. Simply Great in Gainesville Urban s accomplishments speak for themselves, Florida Athletics Director Jeremy Foley said. And this was before Meyer had even begun to blow his previous coaching accomplishments out of the water with the even-greater success he would experience coaching the Gators. Meyer coached Florida to a 9-3 record in his initial season, a record that included wins over four nationally ranked opponents, making Meyer the first first-year coach in UF history to accomplish the feat. 12

Akron Graduate Assistant...Ohio State Luke Fickell is Ohio true and true. Born, raised and educated in Columbus, and a proud graduate of The Ohio State University, Fickell is now in his 13th consecutive season coaching at his alma mater, serving in the position of defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Ohio State has had some outstanding defenses during Fickell s time with the team. In 2005 the unit was fifth in the NCAA in total defense and first in rushing defense. In 2007 the team was first in total defense, first in scoring defense and first in pass defense. In 2009 and 2010, the Buckeyes were fifth and fourth, respectively, in total defense. Last season, Ohio State was 10th against the rush after ranking 14th against the run in During Ohio State s undefeated, 12-0 season, the defense capped a season-long path of improvement by ranking second-nationally in total defense during the month of November, allowing just yards per game. Fickell, who was named the American Football Coaches Association assistant coach of the year in 2010 and who has also been named a top recruiter in 2012 by both Rivals and ESPN, is focused on getting the team s defense back to its Silver Bullets status. His defense loses two All-Americans early to the NFL both 2013 AA linebacker Ryan Shazier and 2012 AA cornerback Bradley Roby were 2014 first-round draft picks but it returns seven starters and, with two new assistants on the defensive side of the ball, energy will be high in the upcoming months. and inexperience and youth up and down the lineup, he had the Buckeyes in control of their Big Ten championship destiny going into November. Fickell s coaching career began at Ohio State. After spending a year on the injured reserve list with the New Orleans Saints, he was hired in 1999 as a graduate assistant at Ohio State by his college coach, John Cooper. Fickell s first full-time coaching position came in 2000 under Lee Owens at Akron, spending two years as defensive line coach. Jim Tressel brought him to Ohio State as special teams coordinator in 2002 and he also worked with the defensive front. He was named linebackers coach in 2004 and added co-defensive coordinator duties to his resume in Fickell is a graduate of DeSales High School, where he was a three-time, undefeated state wrestling champion, and he is a 1997 graduate of Ohio State. He played for the Buckeyes from , redshirting the first year and then starting the next four seasons at nose guard. He started a school-record 50 consecutive games between 1993 and Luke and his wife, Amy (an Ohio State physical therapy graduate), have four children: Landon, Luca,and twins Aydon and Ashton. Fickell was the team s head coach in 2011, a position he accepted on May 30, 2011 without demands, without questions and without any prior head coaching experience. He was asked to step forward and take over a program in need of a steadying influence, and he was just that through a 6-6 regular season and a loss to Florida in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl. Fickell was much more than a just a steadying influence. He was a leader through one of the most difficult times in Ohio State athletics history. He kept the team focused and, despite 53 games missed by starters, the constant molding of two first-year quarterbacks 15

Drake Graduate Assitant - Defense... Drake Chris Ash was named Ohio State s co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach in early January 2014 by head coach Urban Meyer. Ash has coached collegiately for 18 years, including 13 years in the defensive secondary and with four years as a coordinator. Ash, a Midwesterner who grew up in Iowa, has spent 15 years coaching in his home state and in the state of Wisconsin. The defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Arkansas last season and with the same responsibilities in 2011 and 2012 at Wisconsin, Ash viewed the Ohio State opportunity as a once-in-a career move. I was attracted to this position because it is Ohio State, Ash said, and I had to wonder if I ever would have this opportunity again. This is one of the top five college football programs in the country. It has tremendous history and tradition, and it is a great academic institution. Ash, who is 40, helped improve Arkansas pass defense by more than 50 yards in his one season in Fayetteville, with the Razorbacks defense finishing 72nd nationally in passing yards allowed this year after ranking 113th in The two Wisconsin defenses Ash served as defensive coordinator for were solid. The 2011 unit led the Big Ten (conference games only) in total defense and pass defense efficiency, and it ranked fourth nationally in fewest passing yards allowed (163.6), 13th in scoring (19.0) and 15th in total defense (316.4). After Cyclone head coach Dan McCarney resigned following the 2006 season, Ash spent two seasons at San Diego State University ( ) as defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator. He returned to Iowa State in Ash has produced numerous instructional videos, including a threevideo series Aggressive 4-3 Defense that includes shutting down the passing game and stuffing the run segments. To me, to be successful, I think you have to be detailed, Ash said. You have to be able to coach and teach the fundamentals of the game, and that s how you develop players. You have to have a consistency with how you prepare yourself so you can prepare them and then get them to play hard. Ash, a 1996 graduate of Drake University with a degree in secondary education, was a defensive back for the Bulldogs. His career was cut short by injuries, including a knee injury that ended his senior season prematurely but ultimately gave him his first opportunity to coach as a student assistant. Ash has his master s degree from Iowa State (education). He is married to the former Doreen Buttery and has two children: a son, Tanner; and a daughter, Jacey. Ash s 2012 defense ranked 15th nationally in total defense (322.5), 17th in scoring (19.1), 18th in fewest passing yards allowed (193.6), 22nd in pass efficiency and 24th against the run (128.9). rior to his three-year run at Wisconsin, Ash spent eight seasons over two different stints at Iowa State University, including the 2009 season when Ohio State offensive coordinator/quarterback coach Tom Herman was also on the staff. Ash progressed from graduate assistant with the Cylcones in to defensive backs coach for a total of six seasons. 16

76 The History of Ohio State Football To quote authors Marv Homan and Paul Hornung, who co-wrote Ohio State 100 Years of Football: Ohio State University has experienced an overwhelmingly eventful, colorful, often controversial, ever-intriguing and, above all, enormously successful football history. Much of the information in this section, which peeks at various seasons of Ohio State football between 1900 and 2013, was supplied with permission from Ohio State 100 Years of Football Football becomes a varsity sport and Alexander Lilley is the first head coach The Buckeyes notch a record, their first unbeaten season Football crowds and support grow at an alarming rate. Columbus newspapers begin devoting more space to football and most importantly, for the first time after 12 seasons of football, the sport turned a modest profit for the ever-struggling university athletic association Coaching hero John Eckstorm shocks the university community, announcing his resignation as head football coach. Perry Hale, a star player at Yale, takes the reins E.R. Sweetland became the school s first year-round football coach. Expectations were high for the 1904 team, driving the athletic association to purchase 1,500 additional bleacher seats to be installed on the east side of University Field. Unfortunately, the team and the expected crowds fell way short of all expectations. Ohio State won just six times in 11 tries. Ticket prices ranged from 25 cents to a dollar for deluxe games with Michigan and the Carlisle Indians Chillicothe native and former Michigan player Al Herrnstein takes over as head coach. Herrnstein, who coached at Purdue in 1905, was instrumental in proving a non-eastern coach could be successful in college football The construction of new bleachers increases the capacity of Ohio Field to 10,000. Football season tickets are sold for $2.50. Howard Jones, an All-American from Yale, is named head coach On the recommendation of Howard Jones, the athletic board hires Harry Vaughn, also from Yale, as head football coach. Vaughn shows little interest in coaching and resigns after leading Ohio State to a season The athletic board, growing tired of the constant turnover, decides to try a new approach and make the head football coach also serve as the director of athletics. Weary of choosing Eastern coaches, the board hired John Richards, a former Wisconsin coach, to assume both roles. The strategy backfires, as Richards goes 6-3 and resigns after one season. With five minutes remaining in the Penn State game and OSU trailing 37-0, Richards took the Buckeyes off the field because of alleged rough play and PSU was awarded a 1-0 win. Ohio State joins the Western Conference, which later became the Big Ten, but could not compete in the conference in football until Only after Carl Rothgeb of Colorado College declined to accept the position, John W. Wilce, a former three sport star at Wisconsin, was named head football coach at Ohio State. Wilce went on to a storied 16-year career at OSU, leading the school to three Big Ten championships. The Buckeyes made their football debut in the Western Conference, creating a wave of electric enthusiasm throughout Columbus. Ohio Field s capacity had been increased to 14,000 in anticipation of joining the conference. Ohio State collected its first league win Nov. 13 with a 58-0 trouncing of Northwestern Ohio State produced its first All- American, end Boyd Cherry, and went 5-2. Interest in football at the school continued to skyrocket Varsity manager William A. Dougherty wrote the fight song Across the Field. The song was dedicated to Coach John Wilce and was first performed at the Illinois game (Oct. 16, 1915) Ohio State went a perfect 7-0 and captured its first Western Conference title sort of. For a reason still unknown, the conference did not officially recognize football championships in those days. Highlights of the championship season included a school record win over Oberlin, the first win over Wisconsin (14-13), and a seasonending 23-3 victory over Northwestern that decided the conference championship. Chic Harley earned the first of what would become three All-America awards. He was OSU s first three-time All-American and one of only six in school history A powerful Ohio State team finished 8-0-1, capturing its secondconsecutive Western Conference championship. Strangely enough, two postseason games were played that year. Ohio State tied Auburn, 0-0, in a game played in Montgomery, Ala., to benefit the Ohio National Guard training in the South. Another game not originally on the schedule was played the next weekend, as Ohio State rolled over Camp Sherman, a team from Chillicothe. Chic Harley earned All-America honors for the second-consecutive season, and more importantly, became the talk of the Midwest. Fans turned out in record numbers to see Harley, one of the most versatile players in the country, pass, punt, rush, return punts, drop-kick extra points, and play stellar defense. The legendary Walter Camp, who selected the only official college All-America team in those days, made a personal visit to Columbus to watch Harley play Ohio State outscored its opponents and went 6-1. OSU recorded its first win over Michigan, The admittance of Ohio State to the Western Conference and the dramatic success of the football team under Coach Wilce magnified the inadequacy of Ohio Field A landmark year for Ohio State football. Professor Thomas E. French, a member of the athletic board, and Director of Athletics Lynn Wilbur St. John decided it was time to take advantage of the soaring interest in Ohio State football. An extensive stadium campaign was launched in the fall, with hopes of building a new football facility. The campaign opened Oct. 18, 1920, with a goal of reaching $600,000, a figure considered unrealistic by many. By Nov. 26, 1920, over $923,000 had been pledged. With the campaign in full force, coach Wilce s team kept interest levels high by finishing the regular season 7-0 and capturing the school s third Western Conference title. The undefeated season drove Ohio State football into the national spotlight and caught the eye of the Tournament of Roses Association in Pasadena, Calif. At the conclusion of the regular season, Ohio State received an invitation to play in the Rose Bowl against California Jan. 1, After heated discussions between members of the athletic board and St. John, the football team was granted permission to play in the game The fact Ohio State went 5-2 and collected its third-consecutive win over Michigan was dwarfed by the construction occurring just a few blocks from Ohio Field in On Aug. 3, Ohio Governor Harry Davis joined a crowd of over 2,500 to officially break ground on the new stadium. The massive project was scheduled to take only 14 months and originally was to be completed at a cost of $1,341,017. After speculation the new stadium would seat about 35,000, it was officially announced it would actually seat over 60,000, a figure that drew harsh criticism from many. Upon completion, the final cost of the stadium exceeded $1,500,000. More than $1,000,000 of that cost had been pledged by proud and dedicated Ohio State football fans Those that cited concerns of Ohio Stadium being too large looked on in awe as the stadium was dedicated prior to the Michigan game Oct. 21. Temporary stands were erected in the south end of the stadium, and a crowd of 72,500 was estimated. The dedication game against the Wolverines was actually the third game played in Ohio Stadium. Ohio State christened its new home with a 5-0 win over Ohio Wesleyan in front of 25,000 people. OSU won the first two games in Ohio Stadium, but finished the season with a disappointing 3-4 mark L.W. St. John announces all stadium debt has been paid, a remarkable achievement considering the facility had been standing for only eight short years. Coach Wilce announces his resignation, to take effect in June, 1929, citing the desire to enter the private practice of medicine. After capturing three Western Conference championships and producing 14 All-Americans, Wilce left football and did postgraduate research at Harvard and Columbia before becoming the Director of the Ohio State University Student Health Services in Sam Willaman, an assistant on Wilce s staff and a 1913 Ohio State graduate, was named the 13th head coach in the history of Ohio State football. He led the team to a finish in his first season Wes Fesler becomes only the second three-time All-American in Ohio State history, captaining the Buckeyes and leading them to a record. He also is the first recorded winner of the team s Most Valuable Player Award. Fesler, one of the school s top all-time all-around athletes, earned nine total varsity letters three each in football, basketball and baseball. 74

77 Some things never change. Fans packed the stands at Ohio Field to catch a glimpse of the Buckeyes. Ohio State defeated Ohio Wesleyan, 3-0, at Ohio Field in Fueled by an incredible defense, Ohio State finished 7-1, dropping only a 14-0 decision to Michigan. The Buckeyes allowed only 26 points the entire season, while scoring Francis Schmidt is named the head football coach at Ohio State, ushering in not only a new era but also a new style of football. With an offensive scheme dubbed razzle-dazzle by the press and featuring double and triple reverses, laterals, and passes, Schmidt s inaugural team scored 267 points the second most in OSU history at that point. Schmidt s off-the-field antics were just as colorful as his on-field plays, making him an instant hit with the community. After accepting the coaching position, he was asked how he expected to cope with the OSU nemesis from Ann Arbor. Dressed in his inevitable bow tie, his matter-of-fact answer developed into a cliché: They put their pants on one leg at a time same as everybody else. Schmidt s comment leads to the formation of the Gold Pants Club, which awarded miniature gold football pants to all players who had a hand in a victory over the Wolverines. The tradition of an annual Captain s Breakfast, where all former grid captains are invited to a breakfast and welcome the current team captains, also began Ohio State collected its second-consecutive 7-1 season under Schmidt, claiming the school s first Big Ten title in 14 years. The Buckeyes capped the year with a 38-0 season-ending win over Michigan. That season finale launched the now famous season-ending rivalry. Since then, Ohio State has ended its regular-season schedule with a battle against the Wolverines every year but one. Also in 1935, Ohio State and Notre Dame play what was hailed as the greatest college game ever played, for many years after. The Buckeyes held a 13-0 lead entering the fourth quarter, but Notre Dame scored three times in the final stanza twice in the last two minutes for an win The Ohio State Marching Band performed Script Ohio for the first time at the Pittsburgh game (Oct. 10, 1936). OSU dropped its Big Ten opener to Northwestern, 14-13, but steamrolled through its remaining conference schedule with four shutouts in four games After a dominant high school coaching career in Massillon, Ohio, Paul Brown was named Ohio State s 15th head coach. An incredibly organized, meticulous man, Brown led Ohio State to a mark in his debut season. He also earned OSU s first West Coast win, a 33-0 trouncing at Southern California in only Brown s second collegiate game. The season ended with a 20-all tie at Michigan Though World War II loomed over the nation, Ohio State football fans reveled in one of the most glorious seasons ever. The Buckeyes captured the school s first national championship as well as a Big Ten title, finishing the year 9-1 and ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll. Led by a star-studded backfield that included Les Horvath, Paul Sarringhaus, and Gene Fekete, OSU rolled to 337 points, a record that stood until The only loss of the season, a 17-7 decision at Wisconsin, even had an asterisk. Several key players and coaches caught a debilitating virus from a drinking fountain on the train from Chicago to Madison With a game apparently ending in a 26-all tie, Ohio State and Illinois left the field. But the teams were called back 20 minutes later when it was discovered the Illini were called for a penalty on the Buckeyes final play. With little of the crowd remaining, John Stungis kicked a 27-yard field goal the first of his career for a OSU win. Brown, a Lieutenent Junior-Grade, left Ohio State for the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in April of Carroll Widdoes, an assistant of Paul Brown s at Massillon and Ohio State, was named acting head coach. In his first season, the Buckeyes finish 9-0 and claim the Big Ten championship, but finish No. 2 in the Associated Press behind Army. OSU fans claim an unofficial civilian national championship. Les Horvath became the school s first Heisman Trophy winner. Ohio State received an invitation to the Rose Bowl, but faculty representatives from around the Big Ten disallow the trip In one of the program s more unique coaching moves, offensive coordinator Paul Bixler and head coach Carroll Widdoes switched roles prior to the season. Warren Amling earns All-America honors at tackle, just a year after being named an All-America guard. Following the season, Bixler turns in his resignation In the same meeting Bixler announces his intentions to resign, L. W. St. John proposes to the athletic board that Wes Fesler be the next head coach at Ohio State. The board concurs, and Fesler, a three-time All-American at Ohio State in the 1930s, becomes the program s fifth head coach in eight years. In one of the stranger games during the 1900s, Ohio State was afforded three plays after time had expired because of Northwestern penalties and came away with a 7-6 victory in Ohio Stadium Ohio State captures a share of the Big Ten championship and collects its first Rose Bowl win, beating California, Vic Janowicz puts on arguably the greatest individual display in college football history against Iowa. He sent two kickoffs out of the endzone for touchbacks, recovered two fumbles on defense, scored on an 11-yard touchdown run, returned a punt 61 yards for a touchdown, threw a 12-yard scoring strike, and kicked three extra points all in the first five minutes of the game. The famous Snow Bowl game with Michigan was played in late November. Somehow, between the swirling winds and zero visibility, Janowicz boots a 27-yard field goal in what would later be called one of the Greatest Feats in American Sports by a panel of sportswriters. To no one s surprise, Janowicz wins the Heisman Trophy. On Dec. 9, Fesler submits a lengthy resignation statement After a highly-scrutinized selection process, Wayne Woodrow Woody Hayes begins his 28-year tenure as head coach. A tireless worker, meticulous planner, and a Lieutenent Commander in the Navy, Hayes led his initial Buckeye team, which struggled to adjust to his T-formation style, to a finish. Many thought Hayes days at Ohio State were numbered. They were wrong Ohio State claims its second national championship with a perfect 10-0 season, beating Southern Cal, 20-7, in a rainy, mud-soaked Rose Bowl game. The rift between West Coast writers and Hayes is born when the OSU coach criticizes the Tournament of Roses Association for not covering the field before the game and allowing the bands to perform at halftime Ohio State uses a 17-0 blanking of Michigan to claim its second-consecutive Big Ten championship. Howard Hopalong Cassady becomes Ohio State s third Heisman Trophy winner. During the season, Hayes voices his displeasure over the fact several other football conferences had started awarding scholarships to student-athletes, but the Big Ten had failed to follow suit. After a series of meetings and heated debates, the conference adopts a complicated grant-in-aid program based on financial need, marking the first form of athletics scholarship available at Ohio State Ohio State sets a Big Ten record with 17-consecutive victories, breaking Michigan s previous mark of 15. Offensive guard Jim Parker became the first OSU player to win the Outland Trophy After dropping the season opener, the Buckeyes win nine-consecutive games to capture the school s third national championship the second under Hayes. OSU knocked off Oregon 10-7 in the Rose Bowl for its third-consecutive win in Pasadena Ohio State finishes 8-0-1, defeats Michigan, 50-20, wins the Big Ten and is named national champions by the Football Writers. A bitter dispute among the school s faculty council erupted when a Rose Bowl invitation arrived. By a narrow margin, the council voted not to accept the invitation and skip the bowl game. A livid Hayes claimed for years the decision hampered his recruiting efforts. In 1890, Alexander S. Lilley was named Ohio State s first head football coach. Lynn Wilbur St. John

78 The first Script Ohio was performed Oct. 10, 1936 during the Pittsburgh game. Ohio State and Michigan played in the Snow Bowl game of Archie Griffin became the first two-time Heisman Trophy winner in Ohio State defeated Michigan in Ann Arbor, 14-10, marking the fourth-consecutive Buckeye win over the Wolverines. The game was delayed a week as the nation mourned the death of President John F. Kennedy. The attendance of 36,424 was the smallest at Michigan Stadium in 20 years Billy Ray Anders, a true walk-on that did not play high school football, set an OSU record with 55 receptions. The record would stand until Cris Carter s arrival in Arguably the finest Ohio State team in history uses a dominating win over Michigan and a come-frombehind victory over Southern California in the Rose Bowl to earn the school s fifth national championship. Before the final polls crowning the Buckeyes champions are released, Coach Hayes departs for Vietnam for a volunteer trip to talk football with U.S. servicemen. Later, the Sporting News called this team one of the 10 greatest college football teams of all-time A squad Coach Hayes called the best team we ever put together, probably the best team that ever played college football, rolled easily to a 9-0 record, but a season-ending loss to Michigan ended OSU s 22-game unbeaten streak and bid for a second-consecutive national title Jim Stillwagon wins both the Outland and the first Lombardi Award. Ohio State rolls to nine-consecutive wins including a 20-9 triumph over Michigan that has been called one of the most emotional games in Ohio Stadium history before falling to Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Ohio State still was awarded a national championship by the National Football Foundation. A senior class featuring six All-Americans and nine all-big Ten selections leaves OSU with a three-year mark of Freshmen are cleared to play for the first time, signaling the start of the Archie Griffin era. Against the better judgment of Coach Hayes but after strong urging from backfield coach Rudy Hubbard, Griffin comes off the bench against North Carolina and rushes for a then-ohio State record 239 yards in only his second collegiate appearance. OSU uses two goal-line stands one in each half to beat Michigan, 14-11, and claim a share of the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl Ohio State goes unbeaten, finishing including a trouncing of USC in the Rose Bowl. OSU becomes the first school to own three of the Top 5 vote-getters in the Heisman Trophy balloting. With five Big Ten titles, two national championships, and four Rose Bowl trips all in a six-year span, Ohio State football popularity hits an all-time high. Columbus becomes known as the Capital of College Football On June 5, Coach Hayes suffers a heart attack, but pledges to return by OSU s opener Sept. 14. The fiery coach, who by this point had become larger-than-life in Columbus, did return and led OSU to its third-consecutive Big Ten championship and yet another Rose Bowl. Archie Griffin won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the fifth non-senior to win the award Hayes gives West Coast reporters a now famous quote about Archie Griffin: He s a better young man than he is a football player, and he s the best football player I ve ever seen. Griffin becomes the first two-time winner of the Heisman Trophy, leading the Buckeyes to their conference-record fourth-consecutive Rose Bowl. He also becomes the NCAA s all-time leading rusher in a midseason game against Purdue Just one year after the Big Ten changes the rule to allow more than just the conference champion to attend a bowl game, the Buckeyes notch a share of the Big Ten championship and beat Colorado, 27-10, in the Orange Bowl Former Ohio State player and assistant coach Earle Bruce is named head coach. The Buckeyes finish the regular season 11-0 and come within a point of a national championship, falling to Southern California in the Rose Bowl.

The 14 victories set an NCAA Division I-A record. The Buckeyes begin the season ranked 13 th in the Associated Press Preseason Poll, but gradually work their way up to the No. 2 spot prior to their showdown with the previously unbeaten and top-ranked Hurricanes. Their double-overtime victory over Miami is typical of a heart-pounding season in which they win five games by six points or less. Quarterback Craig Krenzel and two-way star Chris Gamble, who starts at both flanker and cornerback for the Buckeyes, share team MVP honors. Additionally, Krenzel is selected as the offensive MVP of the bowl game, while teammate Mike Doss is the defensive honoree. 77

A 2006 first-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Belle Glade, Fla., native made his biggest contribution to the Black and Gold on February 1, 2009, when he snagged nine catches for 131 yards, the biggest with 36 seconds left for the game-winning score in football s biggest game. With four receptions on the Steelers last drive, Holmes went to the right corner of the endzone, scraping his toes to haul in the six-yard toss from Ben Roethlisberger. That amazing catch gave the Steelers a lead in their sixth Super Bowl victory and gave Santonio the MVP trophy, only the sixth receiver and the first Buckeye ever to receive that recognition. les horvath 1944 Heisman Trophy winner In 1944, Les Horvath made Ohio State history by becoming the school s first Heisman Trophy winner.

And good enough that to this day most historians consider him among the greatest athletes ever to play football at Ohio State. Rich, but deserved, praise for Janowicz, who, in addition to being a triple threat on offense, also played safety on defense. In the words of his former coach, Wesley Fesler: Vic excelled in every phase of the game. He not only was a great runner, passer and blocker, he also did all of our kicking, including punting, field goals, quick kicks, kickoffs and extra points. He was one of the finest, most versatile athletes I have ever seen. Janowicz enjoyed his finest year in 1950, accounting for 16 touchdowns and 875 yards in total offense. The Elyria, Ohio, native also led the Buckeyes in scoring with 65 points. In an win over Iowa, he ran for two touchdowns, passed for four more and set a Big Ten record with 10 extra points. He completed five of six passes for 128 yards against the Hawkeyes. Perhaps even more remarkable was a 27-yard field goal against Michigan in the now famous 1950 Snow Bowl. That kick, into a driving snow storm with the goal post barely visible, is one of the greatest individual accomplishments in Ohio State sports history. Janowicz, who was a consensus All-American in 1950, also set two more records in the Snow Bowl, punting 21 times for 685 yards. After graduation, Janowicz played two years of professional baseball with the Pittsburgh Pirates, even though he had been away from the game nearly six years. He returned to football in 1954, signing with the Washington Redskins and winning the starting job at halfback as a rookie. In 1955, Janowicz barely missed out on the NFL scoring title, losing the crown on the last day of the season. His pro career was cut short the following fall, when he was involved in a near fatal car accident that left him unconscious for 30 days.

Additionally, the Buckeyes narrowly missed out on the 1969 and 70 wire service national championships, losing the final game in both of those years after being ranked No. 1 going into their respective season finales. In 1969, he was named an All-American. In 1970, he was elected team captain. Kern s statistics, as impressive as they were, tell just half the story. The fiery redhead was an emotional leader who displayed a penchant for making big plays when most needed. He was a winner in every sense of the word. Earning three degrees from Ohio State, he played four seasons in the NFL. He was elected to the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame in 1978 and the College Football Hall of Fame in craig krenzel quarterback Craig Krenzel was a two-year starter at quarterback for the Buckeyes. Taking over the offensive reins with almost no experience at the start of the 2002 season, the 6-4 signalcaller led the Buckeyes to a share of the Big Ten title, the national championship and a perfect 14-0 record. At the end of the season, Krenzel was selected by his teammates as co-mvp. A little less than a month later he was named as the Offensive MVP in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, where he guided the Buckeyes to a thrilling double overtime win over top-ranked Miami in the national title game. The leading rusher in the game, Krenzel s fourth-and-14 completion to Michael Jenkins in the first overtime kept OSU s title hopes alive. In 2003, Krenzel directed OSU to an 11-2 record and a second consecutive win in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

92 Dick LeBeau Defensive Back, A member of Ohio State s 1957 national championship team, the legendary Dick LeBeau has spent a remarkable 51 seasons in the National Football League as a player and coach, participating in 786 NFL games. On February 6, 2010, LeBeau was selected into the 2010 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. LeBeau, a native of London, Ohio, played 14 seasons with the Detroit Lions, setting an NFL record for 171 consecutive games played at cornerback. The NFL interception leader in 1970 and a three-time Pro Bowler, his 62 career picks still rank 7th best in league history. As a coach, however, LeBeau s achievements are even more significant. The architect of the zone blitz, his innovations have brought changes to every aspect of defensive football. Serving as an assistant coach with Philadelphia, Green Bay, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Buffalo, and was also the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals from A coach with 10 division championship teams, he has coached in five Super Bowls, winning twice, most recently as defensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII. mike nugent 2004 LOU GROZA AWARD WINNER When Ohio State senior Mike Nugent, or Nooooge as he was known to Buckeye fans, was selected as the winner of the 2004 Lou Groza Award as the nation s best place-kicker, no one was surprised. There was simply no one else in the same league. Nugent was the model of consistency in 2004, converting 24 of 27 field goal attempts, including five-of-six from 50 yards or longer to lead the nation in that statistic. He also made all 30 of his extra point tries and sent 40 of his 62 kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks. In a win over Marshall, the 5-10, 180-pound kicker calmly nailed a career-long 55-yarder as time ran out. The following week, in a hard-fought win at North Carolina State, he was a perfect five-for-five in the field goal department. In his final game as a Buckeye, Nugent scored 15 points against Oklahoma State to become Ohio State s all-time leading scorer with 356 points During his illustrious career, Nugent literally rewrote the Ohio State record book, either setting outright or sharing in 22 school kicking records. Two of the more significant were career marks for field goals made (72 of 88) and career field goal percentage (.857). He also holds the marks for most consecutive field goals made (24), consecutive field goals made in Ohio Stadium (17) and career 50-yard field goals (8). Nugent won All-America honors in both 2002 and 2004, becoming the first Ohio State placekicker to receive a spot on the first team. He was a consensus choice in 2004, landing a spot on the Walter Camp, Football Writers, Football Coaches, Sporting News and Associated Press All-American teams. At the beginning of the 2004 season, Nugent s teammates selected him as one of the team captains, the first kicker since 1976 to be so honored. At the end of the year, his teammates chose him as the 2004 MVP. He was a 2005 second-round draft pick of the NFL s New York Jets, where he played five seasons. He has also played for Tampa Bay and Arizona, and the 2013 campaign will be his fourth with the Cincinnati Bengals.

During his stay at Ohio State, the 6-6, 330-pound left tackle became recognized as one of the most dominant offensive linemen ever to play the game. Pace made the Pancake Block famous his junior year, finishing the season with 80 of those blocks (knocking his defender to the ground and on his back). He also literally redefined the role of an offensive lineman with his amazing downfield blocking. Pace did not allow a sack in either of his last two years. In 1995, he made college football history by becoming the first sophomore to win the Lombardi Award. As a junior, he again made history by becoming the first two-time winner of that trophy. He also won the Outland Trophy and finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting as a junior. The latter was the highest finish by a lineman since a second-place finish by Ohio State s John Hicks in Other honors for Pace included consensus all-big Ten and All-America honors in both 1995 and 96. He was the Football News Offensive Player of the Year and the Big Ten s Offensive Player of the Year in He also received the Chicago Tribune s Silver Football as the Most Valuable Player in the Big Ten. Pace was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1994 and the Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year in 1995 and 96. He also was a finalist for the 1996 Maxwell Award. A native of Sandusky, Ohio, Pace was selected by his teammates as Ohio State s MVP in Taken by St. Louis as first overall pick in the 1997 NFL draft, Pace was a member of the Rams 1999 Super Bowl championship team. He was voted to seven Pro Bowls. In 2013 he was named to the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame and in 2014 he was enshrined into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. The Big Ten Conference s offensive lineman of the year award is named after Pace and Nebraska s Dave Rimington. jim parker 1956 OUTLAND TROPHY WINNER Jim Parker was Ohio State s first Outland Trophy winner as the nation s top interior lineman. He also is the standard by which his former coach, the late Woody Hayes, measured all other offensive linemen. Jim Parker was the greatest offensive lineman I ever coached. I m not sure there has ever been a better offensive guard, said Hayes upon Parker s induction into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame. He was everything an offensive lineman should be. Indeed, Parker could do it all. A tremendous athlete, the 6-2, 200-pounder could pull and run block with the best of them. And on the relatively few occasions when the Buckeyes decided to throw the ball, getting around the agile, quick-footed Parker was next to impossible. Parker was a three-year starter and two-time All-American for the Buckeyes. He won the Outland Trophy as a senior in During his three years as a starter, Ohio State won 23 of 28 games, captured the 1954 national championship and won back-to-back Big Ten titles in 1954 and 55. Parker, who was born in Macon, Ga., but played his last two years of high school football in Toledo, Ohio, was the Buckeyes MVP in A first round pick of the Baltimore Colts the following spring, he went on to enjoy a distinguished career in the NFL as a perennial all-pro pick. In addition to being a charter member of the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame, Parker also is a member of the College Football (1974) and the Professional Football (1973) halls of fame. His play set a standard of excellence for all future Ohio State linemen. Parker passed away in July, 1985, at age

94 b.j. sander 2003 RAY GUY AWARD WINNER B. J. Sander had big shoes to fill in As the Buckeyes punter, he faced the daunting task of replacing graduated All-American Andy Groom. But Sander s shoes seemed to fit just fine. In a storybook season, he averaged 43.3 yards per punt, was voted to a first-team all-big Ten berth and became the first Buckeye to win the Ray Guy Award as the nation s best collegiate punter. From a pure numbers point, Sander was magical. Of his 82 kicks, a phenomenal 39 were downed inside the opposing 20-yard line. That figure led the nation. Additionally, 16 of his punts were fair-caught, meaning just 31 of his punts were even returned. Sander led the Big Ten and was fourth nationally in net punting. Like Groom, he was a master at giving the Buckeyes good field position and allowing the Ohio State defense to dominate a game. Two of his best efforts came late in the year. Against Purdue in Ohio State s final home game of the season, he punted 10 times, downing seven of those inside the 20 and five inside the 10. At Michigan, where Ohio State athletes establish their legacies, he averaged 49.1 yards per punt on nine kicks. Sander had five kicks of 60 or more yards, including a career best of 68 yards against San Diego State. The Cincinnati native was a third-round draft pick of the NFL s Green Bay Packers in 2004 and played there two seasons. tom skladany kicker A three-time All-American, Tom Skladany was a punter and kicker between and the first kicking specialist ever to receive a football scholarship at Ohio State. He proved his worth immediately, landing the job as the Buckeyes No. 1 punter as a freshman. He also kicked off as a freshman and sophomore. As a junior and senior, he added PATs and field goals to his list of responsibilities. Skladany averaged 45.6 yards per punt as a sophomore and was named to the Football Writers All-America Team. He was a consensus All-America choice the next two years, again leading the country in 1975 with a 46.7 average. As a senior, he averaged 42.3 yards per kick and finished his career with a 42.7 average on 160 punts. That s good for second on the all-time list, as is his yardage figure of 6,838. Skladany was co-captain of the 1976 squad, the first specialist ever chosen as a Buckeye captain. The six-year NFL veteran was a 1991 inductee to the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame. troy smith 2006 heisman trophy winner Troy Smith may not have been Ohio State s star recruit in the spring of 2002, but by the end of the 2006 football season there were few Buckeyes with a brighter aura.

Not so for Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel. The one thing I knew for sure after seeing Troy play in high school was that I wanted him on our team, Tressel said. There was something special about the way he carried himself. A gifted runner and passer, Smith was redshirted as a freshman in 2002 and saw limited action the following year, appearing in 10 games at slash back and returning kickoffs. The talented sophomore broke into the 2004 starting lineup in week seven and led the Buckeyes to a 4-1 record down the stretch, including a win over Michigan in which he accounted for three touchdowns and 386 yards in total offense.

He led the Buckeyes in total tackles in 1986 and 1987 and is Ohio State s all-time leader in solo tackles. He also holds the OSU record for most total tackles in a game. A three-time all-big Ten choice and a two-time All-American, Spielman concluded his brilliant career in 1987 by winning the Lombardi Award. But it was not so much what he did as the way he did it. Those people who claim You can t measure heart, never saw Spielman play. Intense and competitive almost beyond description, Spielman played every down of every game as if the national championship were on the line. Few players have ever been as focused on the playing field. Spielman was a three-year starter and would have been a four-year regular were it not for two sprained ankles that greatly limited his playing time as a freshman. Still, he collected 546 career tackles, a total that places him third on the all-time OSU list behind Marcus Marek (572) and Tom Cousineau (569). Spielman s tackle total includes a school-record 283 solo stops. The Massillon, Ohio, native had his best year in 1986 as a junior, recording 205 total stops, including an OSU record 105 solos. His best game that year was a school record-tying 29 total tackles against Michigan. Spielman s Ohio State teams won two Big Ten titles. He played in the Rose and Cotton bowls and was defensive MVP in the latter as a senior. Upon leaving Ohio State, Spielman became recognized as one of the NFL s top players, finishing his 12-year career in 1999 with the Cleveland Browns. Afour-time Pro Bowl selection, he is a 2000 inductee into the Ohio State University Athletics Hall of Fame and a 2009 enshrinee into the College Football Hall of Fame. shawn springs cornerback In 1996, Shawn Springs was one of the top cornerbacks in college football and the dominant defensive player in the Big Ten - despite not recording an interception.

Stillwagon, a three-year starter at middle guard for the Buckeyes between 1968 and 1970, was a unanimous All-American as a junior and senior. During Wagon s three seasons at Ohio State, the Buckeyes compiled a 27-2 record, won three Big Ten championships, played in two Rose Bowls and won a pair of national championships. With Stillwagon clogging the middle, the Ohio State defense simply shut down opposing offenses. In 1969, the Buckeyes gave up just 93 total points. In 1970, only two opponents scored more than 13 points; five were held to under 10 points. Tough, strong, aggressive, intelligent, relentless: all are adjectives that were used to describe Stillwagon. He was quite simply the best defensive lineman in college football in No one was surprised when he walked off with the Outland and Lombardi awards. The surprise would have come if someone else had been chosen. After graduation, Stillwagon was drafted by the Green Bay Packers. He chose instead to play in the Canadian Football League and was one of the premier defensive linemen in that league before retiring. Stillwagon, a member of the College Football (1991) and Ohio State Athletics (1979) halls of fame, is president of Stillwagon Enterprises in Columbus. 93

He was a mainstay of the defense for the next three seasons as OSU rolled up a 27-2 record and won the 1968 national championship, two Big Ten titles and played in two Rose Bowls. The Oakland Raiders selected him in the first round of the 1971 NFL Draft. In his nine-year career, he was named to the Pro Bowl three times and was a member of the 1976 Super Bowl champion Raiders.

101 Academic all-americans Craig Krenzel Craig Krenzel will long be remembered for his role as the starting quarterback on Ohio State s 2002 national championship team. But Krenzel was perhaps even more accomplished in the classroom than he was on the football field. A molecular genetics major, he was named winner of the Socrates Award as a junior, presented by Sporting News Radio to the outstanding student-athlete in the nation. As a senior, Krenzel was named to a first-team berth on the Academic All-America Team and singled out as the Academic All-American of the Year by the College Sports Information Directors of America. He was selected as one of 13 football seniors nationwide to receive a National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Scholarship. At the NFF awards dinner in New York in December, he was again singled out, this time receiving the Vincent DePaul Draddy Award, as the top scholarship winner. Finally, he capped off a brilliant year by being named a recipient of the NCAA s prestigious Top VIII Award for combined excellence in athletics, academics and community involvement. Mike Lanese Mike Lanese always will occupy a special place in the hearts and minds of Ohio State fans everywhere. His clutch grab against Michigan in 1984 has become known as The Catch and is one of the most memorable receptions in Ohio State history. But Lanese s legacy also includes some memorable accomplishments in the classroom, where after twice being named to the Academic All-America team, he was named a Rhodes Scholar in The former OSU flanker is the last Big Ten football player to be so honored. After completing his studies at Oxford, Lanese served in the U.S. Navy. Bobby Hoying Ohio State quarterback Bobby Hoying was one of the National Football Foundation s 13 scholarship recipients in Additionally, at the awards banquet in New York, Hoying was named winner of the Vincent depaul Draddy Award, which goes annually to the top senior scholar-athlete in college football.

But perhaps none has had more of an impact than the legendary Ernie Godfrey, who spent 33 years on the Ohio State staff, assisting seven different head coaches. Ernie joined the Ohio State ranks in 1929 as an assistant for Sam Willaman. He would go on to work for Francis Schmidt, Paul Brown, Carroll Widdoes, Paul Bixler, Wes Fesler and Woody Hayes before retiring in After retirement, at the urging of Hayes, he spent 11 years working with the Buckeyes kickers. An Ohio State graduate, he lettered in football in 1914 with the Buckeyes. Godfrey, who was on the coaching staff of five national championship teams and six Rose Bowl squads, is a member of the National Football Fourndation and Hall of Fame. The Columbus chapter of that organization is named after him. 135

145 ohio state traditions Buckeye leaves A round white decal, about the size of a quarter, with a bkack or green depiction of a buckeye leaf is applied to Ohio State football helmets for big plays and consistency on the field. This tradition started in 1968 when football coach Woody Hayes and longtime trainer Ernie Biggs changed the look of the Ohio State uniforms. Many of the sports at Ohio State incorporate Buckeye Leaves into their equipment and uniforms. script ohio The signature formation of the Ohio State University Marching Band performed before, during halftime or after home football games is Script Ohio. Each time the formation drill is performed, a different fourth- or fifth-year sousaphone player has the privilege of standing as the dot in the i of Ohio. At exactly 16 measures from the end of Le Regiment, the drum major struts out toward the top of the i, with a senior sousaphone player high-stepping a couple of paces behind. As the crowd s cheering crescendos, the drum major stops and dramatically points to the spot where the sousaphone player then assumes the post of honor, doffs his or her hat and bows deeply to both sides of the stadium. Woody Hayes, Bob Hope and Jack Nicklaus are among the select few non-band members who have had the honor of dotting the i. First performed at the OSU-Pittsburgh football game Oct. 10, 1936, Script Ohio was named one of Athlon Sports 10 Greatest Football Traditions in brutus Buckeye One of the more visible symbols of Ohio State athletics is Brutus Buckeye, the school s mascot. In 1965, an art student designed and introduced the first Brutus, while the name was chosen in a contest. The mascot began as a hardened paper mache affair that looked like a bowling ball with legs. In 1975, a radical new Brutus was designed with a prune-like head and a man s body. That attempt was booed off the field and was re-worked, giving way to a mascot comparable to the beloved present-day Brutus. The original choices for Ohio State s mascot included a ram, an elk, a moose and the leading candidate, a male deer. Due to the skittish nature of deer, the idea of a mascot was tabled until January 1941 when Chris, a German police dog owned by an assistant cheerleader, made an appearance at a basketball game. The dog s career was short-lived and OSU remained without an official mascot until the 1960s. HOMECOMING First recognized in 1912, Homecoming began as Ohio State Day. It was initiated by Professor (and later OSU President) George W. Rightmire. Homecoming was designed to bring the alumni back to the university and celebrate. The celebration has been noted, among other things, for the decorating of Greek chapter facilities and university dormitories. The parade is another tradition Buckeyes hold high. The parade did not become a time-honored tradition until it joined the schedule permanently in In 1926, student supporters wishing to pull a practical joke on the university, convinced the community that Maudine Ormsby was to be honored as queen. She was so popular on campus, she won the vote. Maudine actually turned out to be a cow, the only cow ever elected as homecoming queen. TBDBITL The Best Damn Band in the Land is the 225-member, all-brass Ohio State University Marching Band that formed in 1879 as a military band. Also known as The Pride of the Buckeyes, the band perhaps is best known for the incomparable Script Ohio. Another band tradition of note is the skull session, a warmup concert/pep rally in St. John Arena, open to the public before every home football game that allows the band to play and think through the show one last time. More than 10,000 fans regularly attend each skull session. cheerleaders Buckeye cheerleaders are a constant source of support at all athletics events. The squad took second at the 2001 College Cheerleading National Championship, its highest finish since winning the 1993 title, and has placed first in the northeast region in 20 of the last 22 years. The squad was sixth at the 2009 national championships. The cheerleaders make appearances all over the state of Ohio throughout the year. scarlet and gray Ohio State s official school colors since 1878, scarlet and gray were chosen by a group of three students in a lecture room in University Hall because it was a pleasing combination... and had not been adopted by any other college, noted selection committee member Alice Townshend Wing. TUNNEL OF PRIDE The brainchild of ex-osu quarterback Rex Kern and former Director of Athletics Andy Geiger, the Tunnel of Pride actually started in 1995, when Notre Dame visited Ohio Stadium for the first meeting between the two teams in nearly 50 years. In an effort to generate even more emotion, excitement and enthusiasm than already existed, Kern and Geiger reached out to former Buckeye football players who were attending the game and asked them to form a tunnel for the team to run through as it came onto the field. Thus a tradition was born, which is now continued every other year when Michigan visits Ohio Stadium. VICTORY BELL Located in the southeast tower of Ohio Stadium, the Victory Bell is rung after every Ohio State victory. It was a gift of the classes of 1943, 1944 and Resting 150-feet up in the southeast tower, members of Alpha Phi Omega ring the bell after victories, a tradition that began after OSU beat California Oct. 2, On a calm day, it is said the bell can be heard five miles away. The bell weighs 2,420 pounds and cost $2,535 to install. BUCKEYE GROVE Since 1934, a Buckeye tree has been planted in honor of each Ohio State All-American. Trees are usually planted in a pregame ceremony at the spring game. With the renovation of Ohio Stadium in 2001, the Buckeye Grove is now loated at the southwest corner of the stadium. BLOCK O 143

146 ohio state traditions An Ohio State University and Ohio Stadium tradition, Block O celebrated its 70th anniversary last year. Known for spreading spirit, starting cheers and performing card stunts, Block O was founded in 1938 by Clancy Isaac. After seeing a cheering section at the University of Southern California, Isaac decided that it was something Ohio State needed. Seventy-one years later, Block O is Ohio State s largest student organization on campus and has gained local and national recognition. CAPTAINS BREAKFAST Started in 1934, all past captains are invited back for a breakfast and to welcome in the new captains. GOLD PANTS A gold charm replica of a pair of football pants is given to players and coaches following wins over Michigan. The tradition started in 1934 when first-year coach Francis Schmidt told those wondering how OSU would fare with its nemesis from Ann Arbor: They put their pants on one leg at a time just like everybody else. Schmidt s Buckeyes then went and defeated Michigan four-consecutive times, all by shutout. THE MICHIGAN GAME The annual Ohio State-Michigan football game was No. 1 on a list of the 10 Greatest Rivalries In Sports compiled by the editorial staff at ESPN.com in There simply is no greater rivalry in college athletics. THE ILLIBUCK TROPHY The winner of the Ohio State Illinois game has received the Illibuck trophy since the tradition began in Illibuck was a live turtle, but has been a wooden replica since Also representative of the rivalry is the peace pipe. Members of two junior honorary societies, Bucket and Dipper of Ohio State and Sachem of Illinois, annually meet at halftime of the Fighting Illini-Buckeye game to smoke the peace pipe and present the Illibuck trophy to the winning school from the previous year. SENIOR TACKLE A last practice of the year tradition since 1913 where the seniors hit the blocking sled one final time, for many years it was held following the last practice prior to the season finale with Michigan. But depending upon the Buckeyes bowl obligation, it has sometimes been moved to the last home practice before the team departs for its postseason game. School Songs Ohio State proudly boasts an alma mater (Carmen Ohio), two fight songs (Across the Field and Buckeye Battle Cry) and a state rock song (Hang on Sloopy). Buckeye Battle Cry In old Ohio there s a team that s known thru-out the land; Eleven warriors, brave and bold, whose fame will ever stand. And when the ball goes over, our cheers will reach the sky, Ohio field will hear again The Buckeye Battle Cry Drive! Drive on down the field, Men of the scarlet and gray; Don t let them thru that line, We have to win this game today, Come on, Ohio! Smash through to victory. We cheer you as you go: Our honor defend We will fight to the end for O-hi-o. Across The Field Fight the team across the field, show them Ohio s here Set the earth reverberating with a mighty cheer Rah! Rah! Rah! Hit them hard and see how they fall; Never let that team get the ball, Hail! Hail! the gang s all here, So let s win that old conference now. 144

California finished an undefeated season by spoiling OSU s first Rose Bowl appearance, and tagging the Buckeyes with their first loss of the year. It was a season in which the Bears rolled up 510 points to 14 for the opposition, and a team that would remain undefeated from 1920 until Cal quarterback Harold Brick Muller was named the player of the game and was credited with a 53-yard touchdown pass. It marked only the second time a Big Ten team had met a Pac 8 squad in the Rose Bowl, with Michigan having played Stanford in the first game in First Quarter CAL - Sprott 4 run (Toomey kick) Second Quarter CAL - Stephens 37 pass from Mjuller (Tommey kick) CAL - Sprott 5 run (Erb kick) Fourth Quarter CAL - Deeds 1 run (Toomey kick) TEAM STATISTICS CAL OSU First Downs Rushes-yards Passing-yards Comp.-Att.-Int Punts Penalty yards 52 0 Individual Statistics Rushing (att.-yds.-tds) - California: Sprott , Toomey , Nisbet , Deeds , Morrison , Eells Ohio State: Stinchcomb , H.

The Buckeyes avenged a loss to Cal in their first Rose Bowl trip by breaking a 14-all tie in the fourth quarter to snatch a victory from the Bears. With just more than three minutes remaining in the game, Cal quarterback Bob Celeri was back to punt at his own 16 on fourth down. A low snap forced Celeri to kick the ball off his wrong (left) foot, the ball dribbling out of bounds at the Cal 13. Three plays advanced Ohio State to the 6, where Jimmy Hague kicked the winning field goal with under two minutes remaining. It was a dramatic end to a game OSU had dominated early, outgaining Cal in total yards in the first half and driving inside the Bears 20 three times with nothing to show for it. Two Ohio State touchdowns were called back by penalty. For the game, OSU held a advantage in yardage, gaining 221 on the ground. Fred Morrison topped all carriers with 127 yards for the Buckeyes.

OSU and UCLA had tied for national championship honors, but the Bruins were excluded from the bowl because of the no repeat rule that was in effect. Led by Howard Hopalong Cassady, the Buckeye ground game drove for 304 yards, helping OSU to a advantage in total offense. Cassady ran for 92 yards, Dave Leggett for 67 and Bob Watkins for 64. Leggett, the Ohio State quarterback, was named the outstanding player of the game. He completed six of 11 passes on the day for 63 yards and a touchdown.

Already proclaimed national champions, the Buckeyes were heavy favorites against the Ducks. But the game wasn t decided until the fourth quarter. Ohio State drove 79 yards on its first possession to take an early 7-0 lead. Frank Kremblas capped the drive by going in from 1 yard away, then converted the extra point. Oregon came back to tie it at 7-all before the half, and actually had a chance to lead the Buckeyes in the third period with a field goal attempt that failed from the Ohio State 24. The game came down to Don Sutherin s 24-yard field goal with 14:02 to go in the game. Oregon was stopped by a fumble on its next possession, and drove to the OSU 47 on its last drive before running out of downs.

The Buckeyes put the finishing touches on a perfect 10-0 season and a national championship by coming from behind to beat Southern California. The game had matched unbeaten teams for the first time in the 22-year history of the Big 10-Pac 8 meeting at the Rose Bowl. Heisman Trophy winner O.J. Simpson had followed a USC field goal with an 80-yard run to take the Trojans to a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Ohio State answered with a 1-yard run by Jim Otis and a 26-yard field goal by Jim Roman to tie before the half. OSU would put it away with 14 points early in the final quarter. A USC fumble at the Trojans 21 set up a Rex Kern pass to Leo Hayden for the final 4 yards, then a fumbled reception cost Southern Cal the ball again at its own 16. Kern, the game s MVP, hit Ray Gillian on the Buckeyes first down for the score and a commanding lead with 10:05 remaining. USC turned the ball over five times on the day, while OSU was error-free.

Plunkett passed 30 times, completing 20 for 265 yards and a touchdown. His performance offset a tremendous rushing day for Ohio State, as the Buckeyes rolled up 364 yards on the ground and actually led the Cardinal in total offense, Rex Kern led OSU with 129 yards rushing, while John Brockington added 101 and two touchdowns. Stanford scored the first two times it had the ball, only to see Ohio State gain a lead at the half. After trading third quarter field goals, OSU drove from its own 6 to the Stanford 19 to begin the final quarter.

Davis collected 157 of USC s 207 rushing yards and set up a Rose Bowl-record four Sam Cunningham touchdown runs. The Trojans scored each time they touched the ball in the third quarter, Cunningham twice and Davis once from 20 yards. The third quarter overshadowed a fine first half effort by Ohio State. At the half OSU held a edge in rushing yards. Archie Griffin tallied 73 yards on 15 carries in the first half. OSU appeared to be in gear when fullback Randy Keith capped a 56-yard, eight-play drive with 13:37 to go in the first half.

It ended a wild final stanza in which 25 of the game s 35 points were scored. The third period was one of missed opportunities for the Buckeyes, who twice had the ball inside the USC 10 but failed to score. Ohio State had staked itself to a lead by scoring on its first two possessions of the fourth period, however. Cornelius Greene engineered an 82-yard drive, covering the final 3 yards himself for the first score.

All-America quarterback John Sciarra led UCLA to 23 second-half points to upset top-ranked and previously unbeaten Ohio State. Sciarra hit on nine of 13 second-half attempts for 173 yards, helping the Bruins amass 366 yards in total offense in the half. Despite the backfield of Big Ten MVP Cornelius Greene, two-time Heisman Trophy Award winner Archie Griffin and national scoring leader Pete Johnson, OSU was limited to 124 yards in the second half. Ohio State was impressive offensively in the first half, gaining 174 yards and 11 first downs, but managed only a 3-0 lead. Defensively, OSU held UCLA to 48 yards. But sparked by Sciarra and the running of Wendell Tyler, the Bruins roared back to dash OSU s national championship hopes and spoil a fourth-consecutive Rose Bowl trip for the Buckeye seniors. Sciarra directed drives of 61 and 83 yards in the third quarter, hitting Wally Henry with scoring tosses of 16 and 67 yards. OSU answered with a 65-yard scoring march to close it to 16-10, but Tyler broke away for a 54-yard touchdown run and close out the scoring.

Pete Johnson went in from 3 yards out to cap a 99-yard march following a blocked Buffalo field goal attempt to give OSU the lead for good with 24 seconds remaining before intermission. Gerald ended the scoring with a 4-yard run late in the fourth quarter, and was later named the back of the game. OSU outgained Colorado , including 271 yards rushing.

In the first meeting between coaching legends Woody Hayes and Paul Bear Bryant of Alabama, the Crimson Tide made a pitch for the national championship with a convincing performance. It also marked OSU s first appearance in the Sugar Bowl. Alabama s Jeff Rutledge was the game s most valuable player. Rutledge was good on eight of 11 passing attempts for 109 yards, including scoring strikes of 27 yards to Bruce Bolton and a 3-yarder to Rick Neal to stake the Tide to a 21-0 lead in the third quarter. Alabama rolled up 389 yards in total offense, 286 on the ground. Ohio State was limited to 263 yards, and gave up the ball three times on interceptions. The lone Buckeye score was a 38-yard Rod Gerald to Jim Harrell pass which capped an 85-yard drive. The Buckeyes defense did cause 10 Crimson Tide fumbles on the day, but Alabama lost only two of the miscues.

The Clemson Tigers won their 10th consecutive game of the season and 11th overall by holding off Ohio State in Woody Hayes last game as head coach at OSU. After Bob Atha gave Ohio State an early 3-0 lead with a 27-yard field goal, Clemson s Steve Fuller, named the game s outstanding player, directed the Tigers on an 80-yard, seven-minute drive. Fuller passed for 25 yards and ran for 36, including a scoring jaunt of 4 yards, in the drive. Freshman Art Schlichter answered with a 78-yard drive, scoring himself from 4 yards away. Vlade Janakievski s extra point was blocked, but OSU had a 9-7 lead. Clemson scored the next 10 points before Schlichter tallied again at the end of an 88-yard march with 8:11 left in the game. His two-point conversion run was stopped short of the goal line. OSU got a chance at victory when Tim Sawicki covered a Fuller fumble on the Clemson 24 with 4:22 remaining. But on third-and-five at the 24, the Tigers Charlie Bauman stepped in front of a Schlichter pass intended for Ron Springs, and OSU s hopes were dashed.

Unranked in the preseason polls, the Buckeyes posted an 11-0 regular season record, but thanks to Charles White, their fairy tale season came to an end in the Rose Bowl. White, the Heisman Trophy winner, shattered the Rose Bowl rushing record with 242 yards, including 71 yards on USC s game-winning drive. Trailing with 5:21 to play, the top-ranked Trojans marched 83 yards in eight plays, with White diving over from the 1 for the score.

A record crowd of 66,738 had hardly settled into its seats when Penn State s Curt Warner ran 64 yards for a touchdown on the Nittany Lions first play from scrimmage. The rest of the first half, however, belonged to the Buckeyes as quarterback Art Schlichter threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns to stake OSU to a lead at intermission. Flanker Doug Donley was on the receiving end of two of those scoring passes and split end Gary Williams hauled in the third. But after rolling up 339 yards in the first half, the Buckeyes were held to just 73 in the second by a fired up Penn State defense. And while the Nittany Lions defense was pitching a shutout in the final two quarters, their offense tallied three touchdowns to win the second half and the game.

Underdog Navy put up a valiant fight for three quarters before finally falling to the Buckeyes. The win snapped a string of four-consecutive bowl losses for Ohio State, dating back to the 1978 Sugar Bowl. Art Schlichter, playing in his final game for the Buckeyes, threw his 49th and 50th career touchdown passes. OSU led early, 10-0, but Navy, led by quarterback Marco Pagnanelli and running back Eddie Meyers, refused to quit and took a lead midway through the third quarter. Ohio State finally opened a lead early in the fourth quarter, but Navy cut the deficit to three with eight seconds left on a TD pass and a two-point conversion. OSU recovered the on-side kick and ran out the clock.

There were those who thought Ohio State was the best team in the country during the last six weeks of the season. The Holiday Bowl did nothing to alter that line of thinking. In winning their seventh-consecutive game and their second-consecutive bowl, the Buckeyes completely dominated the Cougars. BYU led only once, 10-7, early in the second period. Tim Spencer s 61-yard run took care of that. Spencer scored two of the Buckeyes TDs as did his backup, Jimmy Gayle. Linebacker Marcus Marek had eight tackles to pass Tom Cousineau as OSU s all-time leading tackler.

Trailing after a 37-yard field goal by Snuffy Everett had given Pitt its first lead with 2:39 to play, Ohio State marched 89 yards for the winning score. Split end Thad Jemison scored the game winner, hauling in a 39- yard pass from Mike Tomczak with 39 seconds left on the clock. Still it wasn t over. Pitt had one more at bat and quarterback John Congemi marched the Panthers to the Ohio 24 before being injured. He watched helplessly as sub Chris Jelic failed in his two tries to produce the winning score before time ran out. Keith Byars scored two touchdowns for the Buckeyes, one on a 99-yard kick return.

Ohio State outgained USC, , but the Trojan defense steadfastly refused to let the Buckeyes cross the goal line. USC led 17-6 at the half on a pair of TD passes by Tim Green. OSU s Rich Spangler made it 17-9 with a Rose Bowl record 52-yard field goal, but USC offset that score with Steve Jordan s second field goal of the day. Ohio State finally scored a TD with 7:34 to play on a Mike Tomczak to Cris Carter pass. Tomczak s run on the PAT made it OSU had one final possession and moved to the USC 43. But the next four plays resulted in a sack and three incompletions, and the Buckeyes three-game bowl winning streak was ended. Carter, the freshman split end, caught nine passes for 172 yards to shatter Don Hutson s Rose Bowl record.

Three years later and on the opposite coast, the Buckeyes again defeated Brigham Young. But this time the game was in doubt until the final seconds. Surprisingly, it was the defenses and not the offenses that sparkled. Ohio State held the high octane Cougars to 349 yards, limiting quarterback Robbie Bosco to 261 yards passing about half his average. And each time Bosco threatened to bring his team back, the Buckeyes thwarted him with an interception, four in all. All four of those interceptions came in the second half. The first two were by Larry Kolic. Kolic, the Buckeyes middle guard, picked off his first on the second play of the third quarter and returned it 14 yards for a touchdown and a 10-7 OSU lead. That was the last score by either team. In the fourth quarter, cornerback William White and safety Terry White each had interceptions in the end zone. The latter came with three seconds left.

The Buckeyes resurrected several defenses from previous years to keep the explosive Aggie offense under control. Ohio State set a Cotton Bowl record by intercepting five Aggie passes, two of which were returned for touchdowns. Aside from the turnovers and the return yardage, the statistics were fairly even, but Ohio State made the most of big plays. Buckeye quarterback Jim Karsatos passed for 195 yards, with his prime targets being Nate Harris and Cris Carter. Chris Spielman, with 11 tackles and two pass interceptions, was chosen Top Defensive Player in the game.

Ohio State took an early 14-3 but the momentum changed just before the half when Slack hit Greg Taylor with an 11-yard scoring pass with 11 seconds left to play. Auburn scored on its first possession after the half as Slack and Taylor teamed up again from 4 yards out. Two fourth quarter TDs by the Tigers put the game out of reach. Slack, who completed his last 11 passes and was a near unanimous MVP choice, ran 5 yards for the first and also flipped a 2-yard toss to Herbert Casey. OSU flanker Jeff Graham was an early star for Ohio State, setting up the Buckeyes second TD with a 68-yard catch-and-run.

Ohio State and Georgia, two of college football s most storied teams, were paired against one another for the first time in the Florida Citrus Bowl. The two teams qualified for the trip to Orlando by virtue of second-place finishes in their respective conferences. The two teams battled back-and-forth early and were tied at 14 at the end of the third quarter. Midway through the final quarter the Buckeyes drove deep into Georgia territory and appeared ready to take the lead. But a fumbled handoff, that Georgia recovered at its own 16-yard line, thwarted the OSU drive. Given new life, the Bulldogs marched 84 yards in 11 plays, scoring the winning touchdown with 4:32 to play. All-America tailback Garrison Hearst had an All-America day for Georgia, rushing for 163 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. But it was the passing of QB Eric Zeier, who threw for 241 yards, that kept the Buckeyes off balance.

Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Troy Smith completed 4-of-14 passes for 35 yards and an interception and was sacked five times by the Gators (13-1). Junior tailback Antonio Pittman rushed for 62 yards on 10 carries and his 18-yard touchdown run with 13:32 left in the second quarter brought the score to in favor of the Gators, but it would be all the closer the Buckeyes would get.

LSU rallied from an early 10-0 deficit, taking a halftime lead that held up. Ohio State (11-2) had little to celebrate after Chris Beanie Wells, who finished the game with 146 rushing yards, broke loose for a 65-yard TD run on the fourth play of the game. Ohio State made it 10-0 on its next possession. Todd Boeckman hit a wide-open Brandon Saine, setting up Ryan Pretorius 25-yard field goal. Later, tied at 10, Wells delivered a stiff-arm on a 29-yard romp, and Ohio State seemed poised to retake the lead. Instead, Ricky Jean-Francois crashed through the middle, swung his big right arm and blocked Pretorius 38-yard field goal try. Brandon Flynn s perfect pass to Brandon LaFell in the back left corner of the end zone put the Tigers ahead for good, First Quarter OSU C.

Ohio State scored 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, including a Todd Boeckman-to-Terrelle Pryor touchdown pass, but it wasn t enough to shake off Texas. Quarterback Colt McCoy hit Quan Cosby with a 26-yard scoring pass for the winning score with 16 seconds left. Texas trailed 6-3 at the half after being held to minus-9 yards rushing and giving up 140 to the Buckeyes, 96 to junior running back Chris Beanie Wells, who missed most of the fourth quarter after he was concussed. McCoy set records vs. Ohio State with a 41-for-58 showing for 414 yards and two touchdowns. The offensive MVP found Cosby with a 7-yard touchdown pass for a 17-6 lead. Ohio State scored the next 15 points and took a lead on Dan Herron s 15-yard run with 2:05 remaining. The Longhorns then covered 78 yards in 11 plays. Cosby broke free at the 15-yard line over the middle and had nothing between him and the end zone. Quarterback Todd Boeckman, a senior who lost his starting spot to Pryor after two games, gave the Buckeyes a lift when they needed it. He completed 5 of 11 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown to Pryor, who lined up at wide receiver.

Texas: None 2010 ROSE BOWL No. 8 Ohio State 26 No. 7 Oregon 17 SCORING F Ohio State Oregon Jan. 1, 2010, Rose Bowl Stadium (93,963) PASADENA, Calif. A Rose Bowl record-setting performance by the Ohio State offense, led by the passing and running skills of quarterback Terrelle Pryor, propelled No. 8 Ohio State to a victory over No. 7 Oregon in the 96th edition of the Grandaddy of them all Jan. 1 at the Rose Bowl Stadium. Pryor, who had not thrown more than 17 passes in Ohio State s previous five games all wins that clinched a fifth consecutive Big Ten Conference title and the school s first Rose Bowl berth since 1997 had a personal-best day at quarterback to earn Most Valuable Player honors. The sophomore completed 23 of 37 passes for 266 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also led Ohio State in rushing with 72 yards for 338 yards of total offense. Pryor, quite simply, was masterful in keeping the Ohio State offense on the field for 89 plays and a Rose Bowl record 41 minutes 37 seconds, the stat of the day when considering the high-scoring Duck offense just didn t have the opportunities or the time to come near its 37.7 points-per-game average. Consider: Pryor led a 10-play, 74-yard drive on Ohio State s first possession that was capped by a Pryor to Brandon Saine touchdown pass covering 13 yards. Saine, who rushed for 45 yards and caught two passes for 59 more on the day, bulldozed through a Duck defender at the 2 to score the TD. After Oregon came from 10 down to tie the score at 10 and retake momentum in the second quarter, Pryor and the OSU offense went on a 19-play drive that chewed up 8:03 on the clock. Devin Barclay s second of three field goals on the day from 30 yards put the Buckeyes back into the lead at A Ross Homan interception with just 25 seconds remaining before intermission gave Pryor just enough time to set up a 45-yard Aaron Pettrey field goal as time expired. The successful kick signaled Pettrey s return from knee surgery that caused the senior to miss the final three games of the regular season. Pryor and the offense matched Oregon s touchdown to open the third quarter, one that gave the Ducks a lead, with an 11-play drive that resulted in a Barclay field goal from 38 yards out. putting Ohio State back into the lead at After each team had a turnover and a punt, Pryor directed a 13- play, 81-yard fourth quarter touchdown drive for a lead. Pryor hit Jake Ballard for 24 yards for a key third-down conversion, and then found DeVier Posey in the end zone from 17 yards out for the touchdown. Posey and the receivers had big days with Pryor on target and his throws on pace. Posey finished with eight receptions for 101 yards and running mate Dane Sanzenbacher had nine for 64 yards. Saine, coming out of the backfield, had a marvelous over the shoulder catch-and-run along the sidelines for a 46-yard gain. Tight end Ballard leaped into the air to bring down Pryor s third-down throw that kept that winning drive going. Equal credit goes, too, to Ohio State s defense, which limited the Ducks to a mere 260 offensive yards. Leader Jeremiah Masoli threw for only 81 yards and had just nine rushing yards while 1,400-yard rusher LaMichael James managed just 70 yards rushing. Ross Homan led the Buckeyes with 12 tackles and an interception late in the first half that led to an Ohio State field goal and a halftime lead. Thaddeus Gibson had two tackles-for-loss while Cam Heyward and Doug Worthington had one apiece. The win completed an 11-2 season for Ohio State and it put an end to a number of streaks: it stopped a three-game BCS bowl game losing streak for Ohio State; it snapped a six-game losing skid against teams ranked in the Top 10; and it snapped a six-game Big Ten conference losing streak in the Rose Bowl. The 2009 senior class, with its Rose Bowl victory, finished with 44 wins, most in Ohio State history.

The Buckeyes totaled 27 first downs and 427 yards, and they had a six-minute edge in time of possession. But they had twice as many turnovers as Clemson. The Buckeyes rallied from a 20-9 deficit against the high-powered Tigers and scored 20 consecutive points before a flurry of turnovers began when Corey Brown fumbled a punt return to set up a Clemson touchdown. On the next series, Miller threw his first interception, and Clemson had to drive only 38 yards to score and lead The Buckeyes regained the lead when Miller led a 75-yard drive and capped it with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Carlos Hyde. After Clemson mounted a 75-yard touchdown drive and took the lead for good with 6 minutes left, Ohio State had two chances to rally. Miller fumbled when sacked on its first possession, but the Buckeyes got the ball back on an interception by C.J. Barnett.
