From the media guide write up under Legends and Greats) In 1974, Ohio State tailback Archie Griffin became just the fifth junior ever to win the Heisman Trophy. In 1975, Griffin became the first player ever to win a second Heisman. He is still the only player to have two of the coveted bronze statues, which go annually to the nation’s top college football player. But though more than three decades have passed, honors continue to befall Griffin, now (recently retired) president of the Ohio State Alumni Association. Griffin was selected to the National High School Hall of Fame in 1996. He also is a member of the National Football Foundation and the Rose Bowl halls of fame and, of course, belongs to the Ohio State University Athletics Hall of Fame. Following his senior year, Griffin, who graduated a quarter early with a degree in industrial relations, received the NCAA’s prestigious Top Five Award for combined excellence in athletics, academics and leadership. After graduation, Griffin was a first-round draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals. He played eight years of professional football before returning to Columbus and joining the staff at Ohio State. His jersey number “45” was retired Oct. 30, 1999. HONORS AND AWARDS • 1972: Set a then OSU single-game rushing record with 239 yards against North Carolina. Rushed for 867 yards during the year, then a freshman record. • 1973: Became the first OSU sophomore to rush for 1,000 yards (1,577) and was named to a first-team spot on the UPI All-America team. Winner of the Chicago Tribune’s Silver Football as the Big Ten Player of the Year. • 1974: Rushed for a then-school record 1,695 yards and was a unanimous All-America choice. Won the Heisman Trophy, a second-consecutive Silver Football and was the UPI and Walter Camp player of the year. • 1975: Made college football history by winning his second Heisman Trophy. Again chosen by UPI and Walter Camp as Player of the Year. A consensus All-America selection. • Holds NCAA records for 100-yard games (33) and consecutive 100-yard games (31) • Held NCAA record for most average yards percarry-6.13 • Held NCAA career rushing record at conclusion of his career and he still ranks 11th in NCAA annals with 5,177 yards • The only player to lead OSU in rushing four consecutive years • The only player to start four Rose Bowl games • Ohio State’s career-rushing leader with 5,589 yards • Member of the Ohio State University Athletics Hall of Fame • Member of the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame • Member of the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame • Member of the National High School Hall of Fame • In 2006 named one of the NCAA’s “100 Most Influential Student-Athletes” • In 2011 he was the first recipient of the Big Ten Conference’s Ford-Kinnick Leadership award. • The MVP of the Big Ten Conference championship game is awarded the Grange-Griffin Championship Game MVP trophy. • In 2013 he was named the Rose Bowl’s All-Century Player, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Rose Bowl.  Andy Katzenmoyer, (once again, I'll bow to the Legends and Greats write up in the media guide) Andy Katzenmoyer started te first game of his freshman year in 1996 and was a regular for 37 consecutive games. He opted for an NFL career at the end of his junior season. He won a plethora of awards, including the 1997 Butkus Award and consensus All-America honors as a sophomore, and the 1996 Football News and Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He was a three-time all-Big Ten selection and a two-time finalist for the Lombardi Award. Katzenmoyer amassed three-year statistical totals of 197 solo tackles, 256 total tackles, 50 tackles-for-loss, 192 yards in losses, 18 quarterback sacks and six interceptions. He was twice named the team’s Randy Gradishar Award winner as best linebacker (1997-98). He scored twice on interceptions, vs. Minnesota as a freshman and vs. Arizona as a sophomore, tying a school record for interception return TDs. He also tied the school record with five tackles-for-loss in a game (vs. Arizona State in the 1997 Rose Bowl). A consensus All-American as a sophomore in 1997, he became only the second sophomore to win the Butkus Award as the nation’s outstanding linebacker. He was a Lombardi Award finalist, ranking second on the team with 97 tackles, including 13 tackles-for-loss. He clinched the Arizona win with a 20-yard interception return touchdown. He had 11 tackles against both Arizona and Iowa. In 1996 he became the first freshman to start every game at linebacker for the Buckeyes, finished second on the team with 85 tackles and paced the team with 23 tackles-for-loss and sacks (12), both school records for a linebacker. As a junior in 1998, Katzenmoyer was a finalist for the Maxwell Football Club’s Defensive Player of the Year Award (in addition to the Lombardi Award) and he anchored the nation’s top-ranked defense against the run and second-ranked total defense. A first-round draft pick of the New England Patriots, his professional career was cut short by injury.  Jim Herbstreit, three-year letterman, two-year starter, and selected team captain his senior year. One of only three father-son combinations as captain, when his son Kirk followed 32 years later. As substitution rules relaxed, Herbstreit came into his own as a premier defensive back. The third position today could have logically gone to any of the multi-year lettermen in bold font on the list. Bob Dove, Bo Rein, Don Sutherin, and Bobby Watkins were all star players on their teams, and went on to do good things. Let your curiosity get the better of you, and look for some info. Google is a good place to start...

Your stories never get old. Thanks, as always, for the additional insight. I never knew all of that. Speaking of Holtz, after heading over to watch the 17U team for the club my daughter plays for compete in the AAU national championship game (yes, that's a shameless plug that has nothing to do with this story... LOL), we ended up at an Orlando restaurant whose name escapes me at the moment. Anyway, as we were walked to our table, I looked over and there is Lou Holtz sitting in a booth off to my left. Unlike the last time I ran into him outside of a roller coaster at Busch Gardens, I didn't stop and make small talk. He had quite a mouthful of food and it would have been awkward. |

Speaking of Holtz, after heading over to watch the 17U team for the club my daughter plays for compete in the AAU national championship game (yes, that's a shameless plug that has nothing to do with this story... LOL), we ended up at an Orlando restaurant whose name escapes me at the moment. Anyway, as we were walked to our table, I looked over and there is Lou Holtz sitting in a booth off to my left. Unlike the last time I ran into him outside of a roller coaster at Busch Gardens, I didn't stop and make small talk. He had quite a mouthful of food and it would have been awkward. lou usually sounds like he's eating a mouthful of food even when he's on the air. lol. one of the surprising things about holtz is just how slight a man he is. even in his younger days. love him or hate him, he's had an influential on an incredible number of people in cfb. congrats to your girl on the club (soccer?) accomplishments! |

Volleyball... my daughter is on the 13U team. As a guy who played a lot of beach volleyball when I was in my 20s, I am excited that she gravitated to the sport and is doing so well. That 17U team, though is full of incredibly talented 16 year olds that came within one match of being the best in the country in their bracket. Suffice to say, we are all looking forward to seeing what they can do this coming season. |

C........................ 1979-82 Some interesting stories in there, I hope to get some in here... Ray Griffin, selected as All America in 1977 at Safety, and as team captain that same year. Yeah, yeah, Archie's younger brother, but obviously a stellar athlete in his own right. In addition to the AA selection, he was drafted and spent eight years playing for the Bengals in the NFL. As a three-year starter and four-year letterman, he was inducted into the Ohio State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012. Gene Fekete, selected as All America in 1942 as a sophomore at halfback. He led the Big Ten Conference in scoring and rushing, and also was eighth in the Heisman Trophy voting, making him the first Ohio State player to finish in the top ten. As many young men did in the early 40s, he joined the U.S. Army in 1943 and was sent to Fort Bragg in North Carolina. After a stint at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York to train as an engineer, he was sent to a recruitment center in Manhattan as an assistant psychologist. Fekete competed in the annual College All-Star Game in 1944 despite not having played football or exercised regularly for a year. He was out of shape and reported late to practice because the army initially denied his request to participate. On a handoff from quarterback Otto Graham in the team's first practice, he snapped ligaments in his left knee. After his discharge from the military, he returned to Ohio State to finish out a master's degree in physical education. His thesis was a manual for the U.S. Air Force's conditioning program. After recuperating from his knee injury, he signed with the Browns, and tried to play, but the knee would not hold up. He then went into coaching, to include a stint back at OSU. He went from college to high school, teaching and coaching the rest of his active life ending up a HS principal. He was inducted into the Ohio State Men's Varsity "O" Hall of Fame in 1998, and passed away in 2011. None of the others listed were selected All America, or All Big Ten. Normally, I've selected one of the team captains with the best history. But how does one pass up a member of the Hall of Fame? Charles R. (Dick) LeBeau, a three-year letterman, and two-year starter. An all around star, but noted for his play on the 1957 championship team for his play against TSUN, and Oregon in the Rose Bowl. He was drafted by the Browns, but cut, and later signed by the Lions, where he played for 14 seasons, and was recognized as one of the best DBs to ever play the game. He teamed with fellow HOFers Dick "Night Train" Lane, Yale Larry, and Lem Barney. He was selected All Pro and for the Pro Bowl three times each. After his retirement as a player, he immediately went into coaching, and has been at field level in the NFL for 57 consecutive seasons, and was selected for the HOF in 2010. I'm not sure what happened...I walked away from my computer, and came back to find the 'puter had rebooted and (somehow, shocker shocker) my partial entry had posted...  ?

(Dick) LeBeau what a great list of players here. from the bottom up... gary williams was one of the first 4 year starters at wr ever for osu. in '79 and '80 he teamed w/doug donley to form a great tandem. 2800 career yds receiving and 16 td's, the total yards made him #1 when he graduated (now #3), and he also was the alltime leader in receptions at 154 (now #4), receptions in a single game (13 vs fla st, now #2), yards receiving in a single game (220, that same game vs fsu, now #3), and career td's receiving (16, now tied for 11th). he's since been overshadowed as passing has become more a part of osu's offense w/guys like carter, galloway, glenn, boston, jenkins, holmes, ginn, and lately devin smith, but gary williams was the first to be a true impact wr for 4 years. you could argue that dick lebeau is the single most accomplished football person osu has ever produced. this guy will be 79 years old in september, and he will again be on the sidelines in the nfl as the defensive coordinator for the titans. that's one year older than my parents... absolutely incredible. he played both ways for woody, and was a star on the '57 title team. he went on to a stellar career w/detroit, playing an amazing 14 years as a db (can you imagine a 35-36 year old guy covering receivers just out of college??) and picking off 62 passes. that was 3rd all time in the nfl when he retired in '72 (he's now tied for 10th). that alone would have constituted a hall of fame career. but his genius as a player turned into genius as a coach. he was a defensive guru w/the bengals for a decade, credited for inventing the zone blitz there, and helping cincinnati make two super bowls in the 80s. he rejuvenated pittsburgh as a defensive force during two stints there and more super bowl trips. just think about this... since his rookie year w/the lions in '59, he's been in the nfl as a player or coach for 57 straight years. my entire lifetime. and that's not just hanging on... that's as a hof player and a hof coach... a combination you almost never see. and still going strong. i am in awe of what this guy has accomplished in his football life. and he is loved by his players. for his induction ceremony in canton 6 years ago, the entire pittsburgh steeler team, coaches and staff made the trip to see him honored. i've never seen that happen before or since, either. quite a testimony. ray griffin was a great rb out of hs, but there was this guy he knew already entrenched there at osu, so to get him on the field for his talents woody put him at db. his performance in the michigan game in '75, capped off by his dramatic pick/return w/2:30 left to set up the winning td, was one of the truly memorable moments of osu football history. after jeff logan graduated following the '76 season, woody had ray going back and forth between offense and defense to try and spark some production. he had a pretty good 7 year career w/the bengals but unfortunately he has struggled to find a footing in his life since. whether a series of concussions has been fully, partly or marginally to blame, he became one of the plaintiffs in a series of lawsuits last month against the big 10 and ncaa. another burden he's carried his entire life was summed up in many of the headlines of that story; 'archie's brother files concussion lawsuit' and continuing the theme of players who played on whatever side of the ball they needed to in order to help their team succeed (gary williams also played special teams), you have zach boren. fb for 3 years, but in meyer's first season, osu's defense was soft and beat up in the middle, and he asked zach to flip sides at mid season. he did, and he was a beacon of light and energy at lb. his sack of devin gardner in the '12 um game remains one of the iconic photos of recent history, wrapping up an undefeated season by keeping um from crossing midfield (i beleive) the entire 2nd half. |
