Note that in '66, Woody's team finished 4-5, placing 6th in B10.
Note that '67 was one year prior to '68 NC at Ohio State.
"The Bucks 35-point loss to Purdue was the largest margin of defeat for Hayes' 267 games at OSU...The Boilermakers romped 41-6, completely overpowering the Bucks in every phase of the game...the margin of defeat could have been much worse. After his team built up a 35-0 halftime lead, coach Mollenkopf benched most of his regulars early in the second half. Hayes even thanked him for being so considerate when the two shook hands at game's end.
Fan criticism of Hayes was now becoming much more intense. This was the Buck's second setback in just the third game, their seventh loss in their last 11 ball games. Monday morning QB's all over the state were wondering if Hayes had passed his peak."
Illinois gave OSU its 4th consecutive loss at home on 28 Oct.
November 11th, against Wisconsin, OSU Stadium attendance was 65,470, the lowest crowd since the 1950 "Snow Bowl" game against weasels.
"There were rumors Hayes might be replaced after the season."
HEY BUCKS, WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS STUFF BEFORE. IT HAPPENS. Better football days are coming. For goodness sake, don't lose faith in this great program.
