Correct. Tony Adamle was drafted by the Bears in 1947, and Mike gained 316 yards against Wisconsin in 1969, a Northwestern record which still stands. Mike is still a sportscaster in Chicago and completed a full Ironman Triathlon at age 60.

Tony was at tOSU as a freshman (not eligible for varsity) during the 1942 NC season, then fought in WWII before spending his only varsity year as a Buckeye in 1946. He was drafted by the Bears but spent his entire NFL career with the Browns, making All-Pro as a fullback/LB in 1950 and 51. He retired for a couple of seasons but returned to play in the 1954 NFL Championship year.

The contest returns next Thursday.

On the first Arkansas scoring drive in the 2011 Sugar Bowl, which 2 Buckeyes made contact with the receiver on the play for which a replay review overturned a TD by saying a wrist was down?
