moron75:
The chokes were referring to the Rose Bowl (Stanford, UCLA, USC in 79) and to scUM in 69
Since when is 1969 the "early 70s"? Also, it has been documented by several former players that the '71 Rose Bowl loss to Stanford was more due to apathy by
OSU players than their choking, because according to them Woody had reneged on promises of free time prior to the bowl game. And as pointed out above, Woody wasn't even coaching in 1979. The only game you mentioned that could be considered a choke was the 1976 Rose Bowl loss to UCLA, the same team
OSU had pounded 41-20, at UCLA, at the beginning of the season. Don't snort ether before posting...
