1968: Ohio State v. Michigan (Drive-Thru)

[@The14lbBaby]

I've watched this several times in recent years but first time commenting....I love how you put this together it's very good !!

[@carseye1219]

Anybody notice the "MICH" in the north end zone. I don't remember that being done at non-neutral sites. I was 12 at the time but this game kick started my Buckeye life!

[@michaelleroy9281]

Ohio State did that for every opposing team that came in that year

[@herbmyers805]

Jim Otis came to our dorm one time and we had 5 one talk and he was so good and kind that left a lasting like for ma as a young student at OSU!

[@lloydkline3265]

Wow, ohio state football legend, played for ohio state legendary coach woody hayes, did he played for st Louis cardinals

[@yeshayuh]

It’s crazy to think that I’m going to the same highschool that Jim went to here in small town Ohio

[@navaro54]

My teacher played for OSU, #71 Richard Troha. He teaches mechanical drawing, AUTOcad, and architecture. Smartest guy I know!

[@ColleyatFlak]

It's a shame that of the 3 games between 68 and 70 only the 69 Michigan game survives with loving crystal clear video quality. The two Buckeye wins, as important to us as the 69 game was to Michigan, are of much lesser viewing quality. Make no mistake I enjoy viewing the 69 game as that Buck team was the best I ever saw, allowing for generational differences in athletic ability.

[@stephaniegormley9982]

I agree. The '70 win was a great revenge game for the Buckeyes. But the Wolverines can take something away from it too. After what happened the year before, OSU s/have KILLED Michigan, a repeat of '68. But Mich stayed close for most of the game, 13-9 late in the 4th quarter. Ending with 20-9. All three games deserve a DVD, like 1969 got.

John Brockington has always been more than just a football hero to me! Love you STILL! Sarah Moore

[@richardclifford003]

In the 70s, I had a large poster of two players in my bedroom. One was John Brockington from his rookie season as a Packer and the second was Dick Butkus. As a high school football player, I always wore the green and gold packers jersey under my uniform. Number 42, of course.

I love Woody as a UM fan- but he paid the price for that one a year later :)

[@stephaniegormley9982]

@@drowjackson3512 As a U-M fan I have great respect for Woody. Legendary coach. But he never actually said that. At least not immediately after that game. He gave that answer years later as a joke. But no newspaper from Columbus, Ann Arbor, Detroit etc has that quote being made that day.

the day I became a Buckeye fan!

[@INJURYCOMP]

Thank you for this video!! I was 12 years old when this game was played and I remember watching it because my Father watched every game. After dissecting this game for over 2 hours I see that Woody did NOT just have a 3 yards and a cloud of dust team. We need a run game like this NOW!! The backs in the backfield, the blocks, the fakes, the power, the variety of players carrying the ball - all that. The spread is cool and all but some of the game we can line up like this and play some smash mouth FOOTBALL!! We currently pass too much!! The Linemen want to BLOCK SOMEBODY and not be hit all the time with the passing game!! You throw about 15 plays like this in a game, with our Linemen, the opposing defense will be so battered we can do nothing but WIN!! I will be back later because I went to the Ohio State University K-12 school and I have a Rex Kern story! O - H ! !

Was anyone at the celebration down on High Street on campus after that game? A near mythological event 50 years ago.

[@jeninjeans]

My dad was at that game. He still has a piece of the padding from the goal post they tore down. He has the date and score written on it.

[@CarmieSchulz]

You never want to humiliate your arch-rival. That was very foolish of Woody to rub it in and it cost him a perfect season the next year. 1969 would have gone down as Ohio State's greatest team.

[@Rosey2287]

Seriously? Like losing by 36 before the attempted two-point conversation wasn't embarrassing enough?

[@JAKid50]

Is it possible to find the 1993 ohio state @ wisconsin tie? I remember Brett Powers replacing Bobby Hoying, and hitting Galloway a few times to go down the field.

[@V10ViperGTS]

OurHonorDefend - I'm looking for the 1984 OSU vs Illinois game (the one Byars ran for 274 yards and 5 TD's), might you know anyone that may have that video or where I can locate it?

It's on KZbin.

[@JDAbelRN]

DO YOU MEAN WHERE HE LOST HIS RIGHT SHOE HALF WAY TO THE touchdown in a cold rainstorm?!!! I've seen countless college football games, only time I ever saw that happen!

[@mattbarker24]

I wonder what radio feed this is? It's not Bert Charles from WBNS. Of course, several local radio stations broadcasted live.

[@jamesmarkscott6202]

it's the um radio broadcast

[@INJURYCOMP]

Bert Charles did the Broadcasts from WCPO Radio which was the FM part of WVKO AM. He owned the Stations and had the exclusive radio rights up until the early 80's, I believe. He sold the Station to Sunny 95 in the early 80's and that is when WBNS bought out the radio rights to the broadcast OSU Football games. I am writing this totally from memory but I believe it is correct. Also, remember Paul Warfield used to be the color analysts on the WOSU TV rebroadcasts of Buckeye games. I think he did that up until early DECRO (early 2000's).

[@ronwait5350]

I'm pretty sure that the PBP guy Is Tom Hemingway who called UM games on the radio during that time frame.

If Michigan would have won this game, would Bump Elliot have stayed? He’d have been 9-1 and off to the Rose Bowl.

Sloppy play. Lots of fumblage. I'm not surprised OSU was so good at home back then. That giant Brutus head near the open end zone is enough to scare the shit out of anyone.

[@byrd56]

Jerry Markbreit refereed that game? I think he went on to the NFL a decade after.

[@Knightmessenger]

He did and also was the ref for 1969 and 71, when Woody protested pass interference not being called on a late interception.

We don't need to see the replay of every goddamn play, especially the extra points. Edit that crap out.
