Eleven Warriors - A Buckeye Sports Blog
22 July 2008
From Ames to Columbus
By Jason - July 22nd, 2008 |Filed Under Football, OSU
When the Buckeyes and Trojans finally do tangle ? and judging by recent activity, it can?t get here fast enough for fans of every stripe ? Pete Carroll will be taking the field against a school he formerly coached at for the first time in his career.
Carroll and Mason as Buckeye assistants in 1979
Carroll arrived in Columbus for the 1979 season attached to new head coach Earl Bruce. He had spent the previous season as Bruce?s secondary coach at Iowa State and would be assuming the same duties for the Buckeyes.
Bruce?s first team featured 11 returning starters including sophomore quarterback Art Schlichter, who had started all 12 games a freshman in Woody?s final season. Still, the loss of an icon had tempered expectations heading into the season and the defense was still smarting from giving up the most points per game in nearly 40 years.
