Archie Griffin
Between his sophomore and senior seasons, Archie Griffin ran for 100 or more yards in 31 consecutive regular-season games. That is still an NCAA record, as is his 33 career 100-yard games. Many times, Archie only played half a game because the Buckeyes were so far ahead. He was on 4 Big Ten Title teams, the only player to have won 2 Heismans and is the only player to ever start in 4 consecutive Rose Bowls.
Vic Janowicz of Elyria, Ohio, may have been the best all round player at Ohio State. He won the Heisman as a junior and would have won it again had it not been for the new coach, Woody Hayes and his T offense. Vic could run and throw and kick as well as play defense. He once ran for 2 TD's and threw for 4 TD's and set a Big Ten record with 10 extra points, all in one game. He played professional baseball for the Pirates and football for the Redskins before his career was cut short by an automobile accident that left him partially paralyzed.
