Classic Tailback - Archie Griffin Ohio State Highlights

[@lauraroby2749]

He was so much fun to watch! Archie run left, Archie run right, WOW a forward pass to Archie. What a simple game plan that worked!!!

[@blutoblutarsky6529]

Believe me Archie Griffin does not take a backseat to anybody he's one of the greatest college football players of all time

[@clearlycaribbeanreb7176]

Absolutely!

[@jacksonwidaman8261]

Herschel

[@JHenrySlentz]

Bo doesn't know that..he just sees Archie with a bunch of short yardage plays, practically taking the ball every snap and only getting those large yards late in games. Genetically engineer another Bo, Archie, and Barry at their athletic heights and that Bo would know, followed by Barry Sanders, and then even Tyrone Wheatly, and Emitt, and I can think of a dozen other players far ahead of Archie - who didn't last too long in the NFL.

[@zurn41]

He didn't have many long dramatic runs. He had "consistent" short gains. Always positive yardage.

[@maldmc2873]

would hit hard coming off line if dont tackle will get a td ask bo shimbeckler

[@joshhughart289]

Looks like good blocking to be honest with you. Some huge holes vs TTUN.

[@BuckeyeBred]

Finally some Archie highlights on youtube!!! Thanks for sharing and Go Bucks!

[@navmark77]

Not many players, if any, have 23 minutes worth of highlights! Archie was the man.

[@imlikemike]

well when they are showing 4 yards runs, yeah it's gunna get pretty long a video. 🙄 "you're replying to a comment from 3 years ago." yeah ik.

Just shows how far we have come. Archie would be on the bench today if even recruited. Then he was the Heisman two times.

Archie Griffin was a strong guy

[@darricksheridan9221]

2x Heisman trophy winner

[@swinedog712]

Archie had great balance, and was surprisingly powerful for his size. But the main word I would use to describe him is... relentless. They say about certain players "He gets stronger as the game goes on." Archie Griffin was THAT guy.

there's a game between Purdue and Ohio state in '69... Purdue was ranked #1 at the time... they had a RB named Leroy Keyes... legend has it that during a goal line stand, Jack Tatum hit Keyes so hard that it literally split his helmet in two. if you can ever find that.....

PockyCandy Thanks..might have been the '68 game..or not at all, but the story is believable given it's Tatum..

[@FOROW99]

There he is at the Big Ten Championship giving out trophys again and now he's getting a statue at the Rose Bowl Stadium... making Ray proud.. ❤❤❤

[@goldenthug9]

Great video !

[@KillerBre7]

Hey I actually think this may be a challenge for you. Could you possibly do a Herschel Walker USFL and NFL highlights vid. No-one has great footage of his Pro Football days. He actually set the Pro Football Single rushing record and a lot of people don't know it. I think He's legendary and those highlights would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work. I love this channel

[@PockyCandy]

NFL is no for now, since they are extremely strict with copyright infringements stuff, and I don't want to risk this channel being shut down because of it. The USFL, on the other hand, is free to use as far as I know. I may do a USFL video eventually. PS: I wish that the NFL wasn't so strict on people using their footage. Otherwise, I'd make real-time highlights of all the great pro runningbacks!

[@KillerBre7]

Hey Man, I didn't know that was the Case. Thanks anyways for the great highlights that you already have! And yeah I'd hate for this channel to get shut down. Looking forward to all future content!

[@PockyCandy]

Hey, I wanted to let you know that I ended up making a USFL video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nafYcoqDpMiCe68

Thank you for posting this! Go Bucks beat everybody!

[@mattc1026]

During those Archie Griffin years, I was about 11 years old and I would take the bus to Ohio stadium, and sign up to sell Coke-a-cola as I walked throughout the stadium. I wasn’t there to make money. I was there to watch Archie. I’d stand in a gate and watch the game until an usher told me to move. I bet I only sold 4 trays of Coke the whole game.

[@petemarchi5112]

Is it just need or does it seem like they had an incredible offensive line

He was the jim brown of Ohio State

[@oddfuture4521]

Charles White USC?

[@PockyCandy]

I'm debating between him or Anthony Davis.

[@PockyCandy]

Or Ricky Bell. Heck, from OJ Simpson to Marcus Allen, USC was just a factory of great tailbacks.

[@milothedangerous3799]

+PockyCandy I would have to go with Charles white

Deuce McAllister can we please get an Ole Miss back in the highlights......please

[@PockyCandy]

I'll look around and see what I can find in terms of footage.

[@DeeNice681]

The fact that he won that heisman in 75 was disrespectful. It should have went to Payton or Chuck Muncie!

[@Roadwarrior-oi6jh]

Were you even born then?

[@quorthonschuldiner5197]

Yes he only scored 4 TDs which is very pathetic for a guy who won the Heisman

[@SanDiegoBuckeye]

@@quorthonschuldiner5197 here to provide context. Woody Hayes style of coaching for the Buckeyes was to hand off to Pete Johnson inside the red zone in 1975. Pete had 25 touchdowns, Archie had 4. But Archie would chew all the yards up to the red zone.

[@raymedrano9343]

This film would have led me to pass him up in the draft...

[@gerrinehill6992]

How come?

[@etchosts8162]

@@gerrinehill6992 he doesn’t know football

[@carseye1219]

He ran wild against Michigan in that '73 game, yet they only scored 10 points. Should have been a national championship year. Defense pitched 3 shutouts, and gave up only 3 points twice. They destroyed USC in the Rose. Arch's senior year, they lost the Rose to a UCLA team they had destroyed during the season. Instead of 2 nat'l championships, Archie got 0.

[@milothedangerous3799]

about dammed time

[@PockyCandy]

Interesting username. And yes, Griffin needed his own video.

[@milothedangerous3799]

+PockyCandy you were expecting real Urban Meyer? lol! I appreciate the work you've done.

[@milothedangerous3799]

+Fake Urban Meyer and because you have Herschel Walker on your channel, I subscribed.

[@brucedavis3816]

Amazing how some really great running backs from the 70s never made it in the NFL.... Archie Griffin Anthony Davis Charles White Roosevelt Leaks Johnny R superstar!!!

[@milothedangerous3799]

It took an extra set of "these" ... to do what Archie Griffin did against a defense with 11 in the box all the time, for 3 consecutive 2 years - not just his Heisman years, but every year he played. back then, freshman didn't play in games, so the records he still holds could have been even harder to break. this, in the era when you could get tackled around the head, horse collars were normal, and still 9 to 11 in the box every down. no real threat of a pass play. not even Herschel Walker or Adrian Peterson can say that . OJ? forget about it. Jack Tatum took half the field away from OJ, and what he didn't take, he made him pay for.

[@PockyCandy]

First of all, thank you for subscribing. Secondly, while Ohio State didn't have a great passing game (although it improved significantly from his freshman year to his senior campaign), Cornelius Green and Pete Johnson's fantastic running skills did take pressure off of Griffin.

[@milothedangerous3799]

+PockyCandy Pete didn't play until 75.

[@milothedangerous3799]

+PockyCandy upon further review... I have seen a lot of football, I have been fortunate enough to find your channel, watch a lot of highlights that I wouldn't have been able to see....a lot of great moments, several great RB's over the years... and I can say without hesitation... and this is coming from a fan of the sport perspective, unbiased... I'm including Archie Griffin in this statement: I have never seen anyone as dynamic as Braxton Miller @ QB on the field. there's just no comparison that I could find in any previous decade. no, I'm not asking you to do a highlight reel, I'm being completely honest. I think enough video exists to support my claim.

[@PockyCandy]

Fake Urban Meyer Johnny Manziel was better.

[@milothedangerous3799]

+PockyCandy wait a minute.... even with corny, the box was stacked at least 8 deep... there was no play action to speak of, so much of the workload was on Archie...ol Woody Hayes didn't really open the playbook very often in his final days, Archie went a buck 80... that was a tough gig back then.

[@mr.wilson381]

Ever considered Eddie George 🤔

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

Better be glad that oline was giving him Mack truck holes. 90 percent of these he was brought down by 1 guy

[@thedangerwich5476]

good God these highlights are boring.

[@PockyCandy]

I got to agree with you. This highlight video sucks and I could've cut out 75% of this crap and it would've been a lot better.

[@bosco008]

Screw that. He had a great O-line.

[@Maal7432]

They still didn’t have huge holes opened like other lines did, but okay.

[@Zazuras]

Watching these highlights.. eye test says hes not top 5 all time at osu. Kinda disappointed to see.

[@jasondunn1825]

Sorry to say it but he was very overrated. How he won it again in 1975 is a mystery. All I can say is he was the perfect back for Woody Hayes offense.

Horribly overrated player that absolutely didn't deserve two Heismans, especially that second one where everyone knows belonged to 'Notre Dame Killer,' Anthony Davis of USC.

[@troywilliams6708]

Nice. But American football is nice.... but futbol is where its @. Some positions for American footballers really beats them up very badly for old age.

[@derpman7056]

I don't care what anyone says and this is coming from an Ohio State fan but Archie is the biggest bust in NFL history! Leaf does come as a good runner up but at least he didn't be the only player to win 2 heismans and fall flat on his face in the NFL hell Leaf never even won the Heisman! And to top it all off he of course had to be drafted by my favorite NFL team the Bengals

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

He's drafted all the way at the bottom of the First Round!! How can he be the 'Biggest Bust' when all NFL teams knew he's way too small? And that he already had an NFL running back's wear and tear getting the ball on nearly EVERY Ohio State snap for 4 years? Take a look at the 1976 Draft; there's nothing but anonymous players drafted above and below him. A Bust MUST mean the team f&&ed up royally by not choosing someone drafted lower...As RB the 'mistake' is not drafting Tony Galbreath in the 2nd round.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

Maybe Archie is Ohio State Fans 'biggest bust' as greatest disappointment because they thought of Archie as son of God, who sits at the right hand of the Father Woody Hayes; and whose second coming in the NFL was supposed to bring heaven on Earth.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

A "BIG" Bust is when someone is drafted #1 or #2; top 5 at least; a Franchise Savior. NOBODY thought that about Archie. Archie didn't think that about Archie. Ron Dayne?? 11th overall; Holds record for most Rushing yards! I'm a NY Giant fanatic; I stopped paying ANY attention to the draft for a while after Ron Dayne; who cares, it means nothing; I didnt start watching or learning NCAA history till 2013. (GO BUCKEYES!!) Just tell me on Labor Day the names of the Rookies. So I was pleasantly surprised at Jeremy Shockey 2002. When I read up on the rookies there was a misprint, 'Jerome Shockey, TE Miami' I was expecting a Black guy to play TE in week 1; holy shit who IS this guy wearing #80!?!? Shockey's early seasons were Mark Bavaro with an attitude; except only Shockey changes direction to Initiate the hit on Strong Safeties expecting to level him. Sigh; the knees were toast by 2006. Luckily Tiki barber became a complete back; the way Pierre Thomas did what Reggie Bush couldn't.

[@LardGreystoke]

Archie was just a little small for the NFL, everybody else was just as fast, and he got hurt.

[@navmark77]

Lots of stupid comments here. Archie didn't win the Heismans for what he did in the NFL. He won them for his brilliant college career. For the multiyear string of 100 yard games....in which he almost never played beyond the early third quarter. Look at this video. Consistently 3-5 yards gained AFTER CONTACT. Much more in most cases.
