How we didn't win it all in 95 or/and 96 is just ashame. But I'd love to roll up those kind of points, with shutouts on the other side of the ball.

Add 1998. That is one of the best Ohio State teams I've seen in my lifetime. Every win was by at least 10 points and most were by a lot more.

It's crazy to think where a handful of wins in the 90's and just 2 more wins in the first decade of the new millennium would have put tOSU. Easily would have been the unquestioned Greatest Football program of the last 20 years.

Off the top of my head, @ indiana 05, @ minnesota 05 and of course the BCS Championship game puts him at atleast 3. (Most of his damage was done on punt returns)
The Indiana '05 kick return was called back on a penalty. Then he returned a punt for a TD later in the game.

Beyond the Winners Manual by 11W
Ohio State is the undefeated Big Ten champion, carrying a wire-to-wire #1 ranking and having vanquished two second-ranked challengers with one more left to defeat in order to claim its second BCS title in five seasons. Ted Ginn Jr has just fielded a kick which he will return for a touchdown for the seventh time in his three-year career.
This quote from 11W has me thinking the career record is 7 for tOSU.
