Other

Tad Weed 'cause he had some really big kicks for Woody's first NC team. I mean really big kicks that won Big 10 games and then the winner, in the rain and mud, to put us over USC in the Rose Bowl and assurred OSU's second NC.

Don Southerin 'cause he could play QB and defensive back too and won an NC in 57.

Chic Harley 'cause he beat Illinois with a drop kick (!) back when that was The Game.

And Lou Groza 'cause they named the best kicker in college football award after this Buckeye whose collegiate career was shortened by WWII. A man who was All Pro as a tackle and as a kicker.

Kids. No sense of history...

Why do they call it the Groza award???

Nuge

 

[Best Buckeye]

I believe that Skladany, a 3 time all American at tOSU, holds the team and possibly big ten record field goal at 59 yards. 1975 against Illinois.

Nobody had a name better framed for a headline epithet than Vlad the Impaler ..

But Nuuuge - was huge.

And as Cinci instructs. It's called the Groza for a reason.
