Game Thread UCLA at #1 tOSU, Sat. Nov. 15th, 7:30 pm ET, NBC

That was a fun one. 13-6 loss in 2001 where OSU missed an XP and two short field goal attempts. And the only OSU TD was on a punt block. One of Tressel’s first games here.

Last time we played the Bruins Steve Bellisari put up some truly putrid numbers: 5-23 for 45 yards with 0 TDs and 2 INTs. Also chipped in 9 carries for 15 yards.

Ricky Bryant scored the td off the punt block i believe. OSU defense played their asses off

That was the first tOSU game I ever attended. Probably the biggest tragedy of September 2001 unless I'm forgetting something

Bruins come to Columbus for the first time as a conference opponent.

The overall series is 4-4-1. The Buckeyes are 2-1-1 in Columbus, winning the last such matchup 42-20 in 1999.

The most recent meeting was in Sept. 2001; in Jim Tressel’s second game as head coach the Buckeyes lost in Pasadena 13-6, with their only score coming on a blocked punt.

The only time these teams met in the postseason was the brutal 23-10 loss to the Dick Vermeil-coached, John Sciarra-QB‘ed team in the Rose Bowl after the 1975 season, during which the Buckeyes had defeated that Bruins team 41-20 in Columbus in early October. That loss was in Archie Griffin’s final game, and it cost the Buckeyes the National Title the last time Woody Hayes had a shot at winning another one.

A bit of a correction: in 1975 both games against UCLA were out west. On Oct 4 tOSU won 41-20 in a night game in LA. Both teams wore home uniforms that game. I later heard a rumor tOSU equipment manager packed the wrong jerseys. I don't know if that's true, but I don't remember any explanation. So I expected them to do the same for the Rose Bowl, but we wore white then.
