Correct.

Michigan State (since 1953)
Penn State (since 1993)

Note - TSUN has been a member since 1917, and tOSU since 1913, but TSUN was also a member from 1896-1906, so they have more total years.

Correct. The only one that's close is the SEC, which the Buckeyes are 7-9-2 against, but have the edge in total scores, 298-292 for those games.

Last question coming right up.

 

[BB73]

The answer will be a name.

Who was tOSU's head football coach the last time that the Buckeyes had a bowl game victory that gave them a winning record in all postseason bowl games?

Earle Bruce.

Bruce

 

[BB73]

Earle Bruce.

Once again, a Bona Fide answer.

The Cotton Bowl victory on 1-1-1987 (28-12 over aTm) gave the Buckeyes an 11-10 bowl record at the time. That was the game that Earle wore the suit and the fedora, and the team wore red shoes.
