Thank you for posting I was there. I was also at the Rose Bowl. My recollection is that early people were excited but as Ohio state took the lead people were scared.
I remember being at a Boy Scout/Cub Scout Camp the night this game happened. No problem, People brought TV's and Gas Powered Generators so no one missed it.
Great day for the Big 10. Was at Michigan Missouri that day. Michigan 31 to 7. Got back to the car and listened to Michigan State 10, Notre Dame 3, then watched this when I got home. Missouri was ranked 5th then
@@ProjectChaos77 his nickname was one of the greatest all-time Buckeye nicknames! Can you remember it? I sure can. And he also put one of the fiercest hits ever filmed in CFB in that season’s Rose Bowl when he smoked a UCLA player so hard the Bruins helmet quite literally exploded. That was the only thing that made that painful loss bearable.
In reality this game was a huge boon for UCLA and they got a good clear picture of what they would face in Rose Bowl. They got home field advantage and were ready!
Bowl games 🏈are different; ; it more of a chess game: Michigan didn't get a indoor training building until like 1979/1980/ it hurt them in bowl games:; rosebowl football is different; pac ten football team play on rosebowl grass field it at least twice a year before rosebowl
@@lloydkline1518 UCLA moved from the Coliseum into the Rose Bowl in 1982, so before that, the Pac-10 played on the Rose Bowl turf the same amount of times as the Big 10. I'm a huge UCLA fan, but we would've been better off if Ohio St. won that Rose Bowl, UCLA would've kept Vermeil.
Good decision to let the Bucks wear their Scarlett jerseys that night. In the whites the two teams would have been hard to distinguish. Like Purdue OSU in 2002. That game had a dumb look.
Unfortunately this was the last really good Woody team. They should have won the National championship. Had a horrible second half against UCLA in the rematch in the Rose bowl. The truly bad thing is it would have given the Archie teams a Nattty. It would have allowed Archie and Woody to ride off into the sunset with the Natty. Rumor was that Rose bowl was supposed to Woody's last game. That would have allowed him to leave on a true high note instead of the way it ended for him. Damn you Vermiel.
As great as Archie was in his prime, in today's game he could only play for an FCS school. He was 5'8", 185 pounds and not particularly fast. He had a huge heart though.
Greatest backfield in Buckeye history.
Archie griffin; Pete Johnson Ohio state 🏈 needed a wishbone offense mid 1970s

Weve blown so many natties..ugh..but it only proves how great our pragram is and always has been..winningest program in cfb history. Love osu football
No. Michigan has the most victories in college football history.
@@jeffclark7888Buckeyes got a higher %!
Pete Johnson is a beast!
Gene Cole great ohio state fullback and archie Griffin dynamic duo
Archie was fun to watch in the open field but Johnson was the man! I can only describe his style as a bowling ball hitting pins.
Preface to one of our biggest chokes. Up there with '69 Mich, '71 Rose Bowl Stanford ('70 season), numerous Sparty Ls, etc etc etc.
Woody blew it in 69. And 75..we were BY FAR THE BEST TEAM.BOTH YEARS..
73 too.
Don't remind me. Ugh..but still as always. Loyal.to.osu football forever!!!
@@MrThumbs63 yep 73 too. Let's get this 24 natty,. That's what I'm focused on
Winds named for Santana? We miss 'ol Keith.
I was there that night - over by first half but we got even on January 1, 1976.
coliseumdog I was at both games too. I remember the excitement at the coliseum then it started. I was saddened to know that Cliff Frazier died.

Wine and cheese for the Pacific ten. Meat and potatoes for the big ten
I was at game 1 of the 1975 nlcs that day. Caught the end of game.
Where is the re-match of these same teams in this season's Rose Bowl?
Hated Woody's wide mesh jerseys. You couldn't read the numbers. They looked horrible. Normal Buckeye uniforms, the best in college football.
Too bad the damn rematch didn't go as well on 1 January!!!

Did they allow both teams to wear their home jerseys back then?
Then the rematch happened a few months later....🙄

OSU had it all that year smh.
God Bless The Motherland Of Football
Even Rob Gerald got a snap in between snorting lines.
Not Rob Gerald it's Rod Gerald.
Not very nice , he my his football player career
Thats really a classless comment. Typical michigan fan..classless
@@terrybrown9666 Says a dude who comes from a fan base who poop in coolers.
Jim Lampley before the half..."Woody Hayes...time to take insulin to avoid attacking UCLA LB."
Ohio state decided to not buy red jerseys this year and juat wore their practice jerseys
It went very well! Go Bruins!

Corny Greene was a glorified tailback trying to play QB. His passing mechanics were terrible and it came back to bite OSU in the 76 Rose Bowl.
My memory is that the Buckeyes just couldn't stop the option, with QB Sciarra and RB Tyler running wild.
As great as Archie was in his prime, in today's game he could only play for an FCS school. He was 5'8", 185 pounds and not particularly fast. He had a huge heart though.
Have you ever seen him run. You couldn't tackle him in a phone booth.
Archie was strong. You couldn't knock him down.
your making crap up.
He looks like Barry Sanders
My sister's ex-boyfriend wrestled him in high school. Strong is right.
