Summary
What are the most important moments in the history of Ohio State football? These are the moments that define the program, paving the way for where it is today. They span over 100 years, interweaving themselves into the fabric of the sport. Here on Buckeye Talk, we will spend the next nine Mondays diving into those moments, discussing why they matter so much and the impact they continue to have today. We continue that today with a look into the hiring of Woody Hayes. A low-profile Ohio native who'd spend the next 28 years becoming the single most important figure in program history. This is the story of Woody Hayes and the hire that made the Ohio State football program.
