TAKE ME HOME

We're giving two-time All-American Mike Doss some love today, because dominant safety play is always fun to watch.

One of my favorite former players, he came back for his senior year (2002-2003) to win a National Championship. He still had a good NFL career and even coming away with one of these:

They're not giving him enough love, Mike was a 3-time All-American.

8. MIKE DOSS, 2000
One of the most beloved Buckeyes in program history, Mike Doss controlled the back end of the defense. The hard-hitting safety averaged 1.08 tackles for loss and 7.83 tackles per game, the best and second-best marks among safeties in program history.



Doss was a unanimous All-American in 2002 and co-Defensive Player of the Year in the Big Ten and ended his career as Ohio State's all-time leading tackler at the safety position. He was named the MVP of the 2002 Fiesta Bowl after winning the National Championship. Doss was inducted into the Ohio State Hall of Fame in 2011.

CALLED HIS SHOT. Mike Doss could have gone pro after his junior year, but he wanted to win a natty. And the day before he played in the title game, he called his shot.



He wasn't wrong, but I don't have to tell you that.

He came back for his Senior year to win a National Championship and the team did; for that, he'll always be one of my all time favorite Buckeyes. I'm always willing to post that story in his thread as a tribute to him and to help cement his legacy at Ohio State.

SKULL SESSION: OHIO STADIUM'S SOCIAL-DISTANCED CROWDS DURING THE 1918 PANDEMIC, JIM HARBAUGH THINKS MICHIGAN IS "AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE" TO BEATING OHIO STATE, AND MIKE DOSS OWNS JONATHAN VILMA

“HEY VILMA, YOU SEE THE TROPHY?” It's been almost two decades since Ohio State stuffed Miami's entire football program in a trash can with one single game, and Mike Doss still isn't letting Jonathan Vilma forget.



"Hey Vilma, you see the trophy?"

For those interested in one of the greatest Buckeye football moments in history, ESPN is airing the 2003 Fiesta Bowl.

The best part is, Miami fans are damn near extinct, so there's nobody even left to complain about their team getting robbed by a correct call in a game that wouldn't have even gone to overtime if instant replay existed.

The 2003 Fiesta Bowl National Championship between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 1 Miami is tonight’s Throwback Thursday: College Football Classics Presented by Allstate, as the encore presentation will airs on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET (Thursday, May 28). The 2002 college football season finale, in which both teams entered the game undefeated, featured a game-tying field goal with seconds remaining in regulation to force the sport’s first ever national championship overtime contest. Adding to the encore presentation, seven players from that game will be part of the telecast, including Ohio State’s three-time All-American Mike Doss and Miami’s All-American Jonathan Vilma.

Mike Doss is the newest former Ohio State football player to be nominated for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Doss joins fellow Buckeye greats James Laurinaitis, who is in his second year on the ballot, and Chris Ward, who is in his fourth, as one of three nominees from Ohio State for the College Football Hall of Fame's class of 2021.

Each school is allowed a maximum of three nominees, who also must have received first-team All-American honors during his career, must be at least 10 years removed from his collegiate career and no longer playing professionally and must have played college football within the last 50 years to be eligible for Hall of Fame induction.

A spot opened up on the Hall of Fame ballot this year for Doss, who was a three-time first-team All-American safety for the Buckeyes, after former Ohio State running back Keith Byars – in his sixth year on the ballot – was selected in March as the 26th Buckeye to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Former Buckeyes James Laurinaitis and Mike Doss were named to the hall’s 2022 ballot Wednesday, along with more than 200 other players and coaches across all divisions. The duo were each on last year’s ballot; Ohio State currently has 27 former players and six coaches in the Hall of Fame.

The ballot is now sent to members of the National Football Foundation and current Hall of Famers, whose votes will be tabulated and sent to the NFF’s Honors Courts. Consisting of media members, athletic administrators and Hall of Famers, the Honors Court will select the class.

An announcement of the 2022 class will be made early next year. The class will be inducted at the 64th annual NFF Awards Dinner on Dec. 6, 2022, at the Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

Even though it should have happened years ago; induction into College Football Hall Of Fame is well deserved.

Michael Doss, who returned for a senior season in 2002 determined to help Ohio State win a national championship,

And that's why he will always be thought very highly of by Buckeye Nation.
