Though World War II loomed over the nation, Ohio State football fans reveled in one of the most glorious seasons ever. The Buckeyes captured the school’s first national championship as well as a Big Ten title, finishing the year 9-1 and ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll. Led by a star-studded backfield that included Les Horvath, Paul Sarringhaus and Gene Fekete, OSU rolled to 337 points, a record that stood until 1969. The only loss of the season, a 17-7 decision at Wisconsin, even had an asterisk as several key players and coaches caught a debilitating virus from a drinking fountain on the train from Chicago to Madison. 102 2018 Ohio State Football NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Rank SEPT 25 Indiana W 28-0 14 OCT 02 #18 California W 21-13 10 09 at Illinois W 40-7 4 16 #13 Iowa W 20-14 4 23 #2 Wisconsin W 31-14 1 30 at Northwestern W 14-7 2 NOV 06 #20 Pitt W 26-0 2 13 at Purdue W 28-6 1 20 #12 Michigan W 21-7 1 JAN 01 vs. #17 USC W 20-7 1954 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS – ASSOCIATED PRESS Front Row: Hubert Bobo, Kenneth Thompson, James Roseboro, Morris, William Cummings, Raymond Williams, William Jobko, Jack Archer, David Richards, Jerry Trabue, James Wassmund, Richard Guy, Richard Slicker, Robert Lilienthal, Robert Cole, William Michael, Ernie Godfrey.

Ohio State claims its second national championship with a perfect 10-0 season, beating Southern Cal, 20-7, in a rainy, mud- soaked Rose Bowl game. The rift between West Coast writers and Hayes is born when the OSU coach criticizes the Tournament of Roses Association for not covering the field before the game and allowing the bands to perform at halftime. The team forced 35 turnovers during a season in which the Buckeyes knocked off six ranked teams.

Ohio State knocked off Oregon 10-7 in the Rose Bowl for its third- consecutive win in Pasadena. The Buckeye defense only allowed six fourth-quarter points all year. 103 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Rank 3 SEPT 30 Texas Christian T 7-7 8 OCT 07 UCLA W 13-3 7 14 Illinois W 44-0 7 21 at Northwestern W 10-0 6 28 at Wisconsin W 30-21 5 NOV 04 #9 Iowa W 29-13 3 11 at Indiana W 16-7 3 18 Oregon W 22-12 2 25 at Michigan W 50-20 1961 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS – FOOTBALL WRITERS Front Row: Jack Wallace, Daniel Connor, Dennis Clotz, Charles Wittmer, Bob Ferguson, Ronald Houck, George Tolford, Charles Bryant, Samuel Tidmore, Thomas Perdue, Robert Ingram, Roger Detrick, Larry Stephens, Paul Martin, Jack Roberts, Howard Lambert.

Ohio State finishes 8-0-1, wins at Michigan, 50-20, claims the Big Ten crown and is named national champions by the Football Writers. A bitter dispute among the school’s faculty council erupted when a Rose Bowl invitation arrived. By a narrow margin, the council voted not to accept the invitation and skip the bowl game. A livid Hayes claimed for years the decision hampered his recruiting efforts.

Arguably the finest Ohio State team in history uses a dominating 50-14 win over Michigan and a 27-16 come-from-behind victory over Southern California in the Rose Bowl to earn the school’s fifth national championship. Before the final polls crowning the Buckeyes champions are released, Coach Hayes departs for Vietnam for a volunteer trip to talk football with U.S. servicemen. Later, the Sporting News called this team one of the 10 greatest college football teams of all-time. The Ohio State offense averaged 32 points per game and 440 yards per contest.

  • When the Nfl Had Character

    When the Nfl Had Character

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1995) WHEN THE NFL HAD CHARACTER By Stanley Grosshandler Two generations of football fans have grown up since the 1953 season, part of the decade called "The Golden Age of the NFL." Younger fans today may find it surprising to learn that the NFL was losing star players back then to the draft (remember the draft?) and to the Canadian Football League. The Korean Conflict had siphoned several top men into the service, including Cleveland tackle Bob Gain, the Cardinals great Ollie Matson, and San Francisco's versatile tackle Bob Toneff. Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League made some inroads by luring a handful north of the border. Among the emmigrants were Cleveland's star end Mac Speedie, the Giants' center-tackle Tex Coulter and defensive end Ray Poole, San Francisco defensive back Jim Cason, and an Eagle receiver named Bud Grant who would return a dozen years later as a coach. Although these and several other well-known players missed the 1953 season, the league still continued to grow in popularity -- due in part to the individual aura that made each team special. Teams then had a their own particular character and each had an identifiable leader. They were not the plastic, look-alike teams who strive today for parity (another name for mediocracy) and play for the field goal. Reviewing those rosters of forty years ago can still produce chills among some "veteran" fans. The Cleveland Browns had the confidence and composure of their coach Paul Brown. They did not have to be told they were winners.
