Regular season, in my lifetime as a Buckeye fan, most impressive?
1954... Favored Michigan roars into town. Defense holds them for four downs inside the four!. Next play Hop Cassedy breaks it off tackle and down the east side line to mid field and Bucks proceed to roll. Woody's first National Championship.
1957... At #1 Iowa, trailing and then Woody unleashes Bob White and the big guy rumbles and rumbles and the Bucks win going away.
1963... #1 Wisconsin, with Pat Richter and Ron Vanderkellen, comes in to town. Woody pulls Paul Warfield off of offense and has him cover Richter. Richter gets one catch for six or seven yards and the Bucks roll.
1972 (?) #1 Michigan rolls into town,
OSU is banged up and a decided underdog, asked if all Ohio high school players go to Michigan, Tim Franklin shoots off his mouth, "Only the best ones." Defense repeats the 1954 goal line stand, then holds them for 3 downs more inside the 15. Bo decides to go for the tieing field goal and Lantry (?) shanks it. HUGE upset in the series.
1995 - 96 Really putting it on Ron Paulus, Lou Holtz, Bob Davies, Regis and the rest of the ND Glitter crowd. Paulus was getting so much hype and the cameras kept closing in on him revealing him as a genuine, pain-in-the-ass crybaby. Sweet.
This certainly ranks up there with those games... it's unfortunate that it was only the second game of the season so we really don't know if the game was that big. If Texas runs the table, then this was huge.
