PSU OH State in 1978 --- check out the hit at 6:25

That was a terrific football team. I believe that game was Art Schlichter's first collegiate start. Might that be the last time the Buckeyes were shut-out at home?

Quite a gamble starting Schlichter against Penn State's vaunted defense that day. Woody must have thought that he had a puncher's chance with the freshman.

He promised Schlichter and his dad that he would start him as a freshman. He paid the price that day for it.
 
I was there. I was practicing law as an Ohio Assistant Attorney General. Great day to be a PSU alum in C-bus.
