OHIO FOOTBALL HISTORY

The fi rst appearance of a football on the Ohio University campus was back in 1826, some 50 years before the fi rst intercollegiate football game in the United States.

In those days, a student named John Brough was fond of kicking a football over the “Center Building”, what is now Cutler Hall. Brough later became governor of Ohio, inaugurated Jan. 11, 1864.

In 1892, Ohio University became a member of a four-school conference—the Athletic League of Ohio Colleges—which included Otterbein, Wittenberg, and Marietta. A schedule never materialized, however, and the league dissolved before even a single game was played. In preparation, though, a team was formed on Ohio’s campus and H.R. Higley was elected captain. He soon began coaching the team, according to the student newspaper, the Panorama.

For the fi rst time, the football team was given space in the Athena yearbook in 1892. The entire team was listed, by position.

The fi rst intercollegiate football game involving an Ohio University team was played in Athens in 1894 against Marietta College. It was the only contest played that year by Ohio, with Marietta winning by a score of 8-0.

Through its 114 years (and 112 seasons) of football, Ohio University has had 28 head coaches. Of these, Don C. Peden had the longest tenure, 21 seasons. Over that period, he compiled a record of 121 wins, 46 losses and 11 ties.

with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. Widdoes is the only man to ever serve as head coach at both Ohio and Ohio State.

Widdoes handpicked a successor when he moved from head coach to athletics director. The man he chose was an Ohio alum who had spent seven seasons as an assistant to Woody Hayes and brought a similar philosophy back to Athens.

Bill Hess had more than football on his resume. After one year as a student at Ohio University, he had joined the U.S. Navy during the war. A member of a Navy underwater demolition team, he was awarded a Silver Star during action at the invasion of Okinawa.

It did not take long for Hess to put hismark on Bobcat football. In his second

season, Ohio went 7-2, fi nishing as runners-up to an undefeated Bowling Green squad. The following year, 1960, the Green and White enjoyed what many argue was their best season ever. Behind the powerful running of Robert Brooks and the blocking and tackling of two-way standout Dick Grecni, the Bobcats went a perfect 10-0. In the process, they claimed the National College Division championship. Grecni earned All-America honors and was one of fi ve standouts on that team who eventually played professionally.

The 1907 Bobcats

Bill Hess

Peden oversaw the Bobcats’ best-ever span—seven seasons from 1929 through 1935—in which Ohio compiled a record of 49-9-3. In that period, Peden’s squads won four Buckeye Athletic Association championships and enjoyed three undefeated seasons. The 1935 team upset Illinois in the season opener, 6-0, on its way to a perfect 8-0 season. They were led by All-American Art Lewis, a sturdy tackle who was a fi rst-round selection of the New York Giants in the fi rst-ever National Football League draft in 1936. Lewis would go on to become a very successful college coach himself at West Virginia.

Peden’s tenure was interrupted by World War II, with Ohio not fi elding a team in either the 1943 or 1944 seasons. In his fi nal year as head coach, 1946, Peden steered the Bobcats into the Mid-American Conference as a charter member.

Ohio won its fi rst ever MAC football championship in 1953 under head coach Carroll Widdoes, who piloted the program for nine seasons from 1949 to 1957. Along the way, Widdoes coached an All-America linebacker named Vince Costello. Costello would go on to a highly-decorated professional career

Two years later, Hess led Ohio to it’s fi rst-ever bowl game, a matchup with West Texas State in the 1962 Sun Bowl. Jim McKee kicked a 52-yard fi eld goal to put the Bobcats ahead early but they trailed at the half 7-3. In the third quarter, three-time all-MAC performer Skip Hoovler intercepted a pass and ran it back 91 yards for a touchdown. Ohio led 14-7 late in the game before West Texas scored on a 32-yard touchdown pass and a two-point conversion to win 15-14. Hoovler was named Lineman of the Game, and his 91-yard fumble return still stands as a Sun Bowl record.

Ironically, the Bobcats did not win the MAC in that 1962 season but did go to a bowl. The following season, Ohio won the league championship but was not invited to a bowl game. In 1967, Hess would claim his third MAC championship, sharing this one with Toledo. That team also raised eyebrows with a 30-15 win over Kansas, runners-up in the Big Eight conference that season. It was a performance that hinted at great things to come.

In 1968, the most explosive Bobcat offense ever stormed its way to a 10-0 regular season, a MAC championship, and an invitation to the Tangerine Bowl. Along the way, they racked up 418 points in 11

towards a high-octane passing attack, Grobe took the Bobcats back to the basics of the triple option. And it worked!

Ohio scored over 300 points in both 1996 and 1997, going 8-3 in ’97. It was the Green and White’s fi rst winning season in 15 years.

Grobe’s squads were prolifi c offensive teams, in spite of the media’s ill-conceived notion of an “antique” offense. Kareem Wilson, the Bobcats’ fi replug of a quarterback, was voted the MAC’s Offensive Player of the Year following a 1996 season in which he rushed for 1,072 yards and a school-record 14 touchdowns. Meanwhile, fullback Steveland Hookfi n was piling up 3,972 rushing yards during the same era to become Ohio’s then-all-time rushing leader. Wilson’s total of 3,597 yards still stands as the fi fth-most ever by an NCAA quarterback. His 875 career carries are the most by a signal caller in college football history.

In 2000, the Bobcats upset Minnesota for their fi rst win over a Big Ten team in 27 years. Ohio fi nished that season with a win over Marshall, giving the ‘Cats two wins over bowl teams and a 7-4 record. That team set a new school record for total offense, piling up 4,599 yards. The total broke the previous mark held by the legendary 1968 squad.

In 2001, punter Dave Zastudil became Ohio’s fi rst All-American since 1968, earning fi rst-team honors from the Football Writers Association of America and the Football News, while being named to the

1968 MAC Champions

games. That average of 37.6 points per game stood as the MAC record until 1997. The amazing pass-and-catch combination of Cleve Bryant and Todd Snyder, coupled with the sturdy running of Dave LeVeck and Bob Houmard, proved to be nearly unstoppable.

That 1968 season also marked Ohio’s fi rst-ever appearance in the Top 20. On the heels of a 28-27 victory over Bowling

Green in which the Bobcats scored two touchdowns in the fi nal four minutes, Bryant led the way to a 60-48 win at Cincinnati. Sports Illustrated called it an “insane circus” and it helped to land the ‘Cats at 18th in the United Press International coaches’ poll and 20th in the Associated Press writers’ poll.

Ohio would cap off the season at the Tangerine Bowl and to no one’s surprise the contest was another shootout. Bryant threw four touchdown passes and Snyder caught 11 passes for 214 yards. But it wasn’t enough as Richmond held on for a 49-42 win. Hess would coach nine more seasons for a total of 20 before succumbing to cancer.

Jim Grobe took over an Ohio program that was in great need of an overhaul in 1995. He brought with him a unique offensive and defensive philosophy learned as a long-time assistant coach at the Air Force Academy. While most of the college football world was moving

second team by the Associated Press. He led the MAC in punting for four straight years and fi nished second in the nation as a senior and fi fth as a junior. Zastudil was a fourth-round draft pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2002 where he played until 2005. Zastudil signed a free-agent contract with the Cleveland Browns in 2006.

Peden Stadium has seen a number of milestones in recent seasons, beginning with a visit from Iowa State in 2001. The fi rst-ever member of a Bowl Championship Series conference to play at the “Wrigley Field of college football”, the Cyclones met the Bobcats in front of a then-stadium-record crowd of 24,000 fans. Two seasons later, Minnesota would become the fi rst ever Big Ten team to play at Peden.

The 2005 season marked the beginning of Frank Solich’s tenure as head coach of the Bobcats. Solich’s arrival after six years as the head coach at Nebraska put Ohio football in the national spotlight. The Bobcats had six of their 11 games televised nationally, including the fi rst-ever national broadcast from Peden Stadium.

That game versus Pittsburgh proved historical for other reasons as well. Dion Byrum’s interception return for a touchdown in overtime gave the Bobcats a 16-10 victory in front of a school-record 24,545 fans and an additional 1.4 million households watching on ESPN2. It was the most watched Friday night college football game in the network’s history.

Byrum continued his success throughout the rest of the season, earning All-America accolades from the AFCA (fi rst team),

A school-record crowd of 24,545 celebrated a 16-10 overtime victory against Pitt on Sept. 9, 2005.

Matt Muncy

SI.com (second team) and the Associated Press (second team). He tied for second in the nation with six interceptions and was the only player in the country with three defensive touchdowns. Byrum began the 2006 season as a member of the Chicago Bears, but later joined the Carolina Panthers where he played in three games.

The 2006 season proved to be one of the most memorable in Bobcat lore. Ohio improved its win total by fi ve games, tying the largest improvement in school history. Ohio reeled off seven straight wins to end the regular season, including a thrilling 20-17 win at Illinois. Matt Lasher’s fi eld goal with fi ve seconds remaining gave the Bobcats a victory versus a school from a BCS conference for the third straight year.

The Bobcats’ fi nished 9-5 overall and won their fi rst MAC East Division championship with a school-record seven conference wins (7-1). Following Ohio’s fi rst appearance in the MAC Championship Game, the Bobcats played in the 2007 GMAC Bowl versus Southern Miss. It was the program’s fi rst bowl appearance the 1968 Tangerine Bowl.

Solich joined Bill Hess (1968) and Jim Grobe (1996) as the only Bobcat football coaches to earn the MAC Coach of the Year honor. The Bobcats also boasted seven All-MAC players, the most since 1996. The four fi rst-team selections were the most since 1998.

One of those fi rst-team choices, running back Kalvin McRae fi nished the season with 1,252 rushing yards. That total put him second on the Ohio single-season ledger and made him the fi rst Bobcat since Arnold Welcher in 1975 and 1976 to rush for more

than 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons. McRae also set the school record with 15 rushing touchdowns.

Following the season, four Bobcats signed free agent contracts with NFL clubs. Linebacker Matt Muncy, one of Ohio’s all-time leaders in tackles for loss, and cornerback T.J. Wright, the Bobcats’ career leader in passes defended, joined the Cincinnati Bengals. Receiver Scott Mayle, who ranked among Ohio’s all-time leaders in catches, receiving yards, kickoff return yards and all-purpose yards, signed with the Buffalo Bills, while tight end Rudy Sylvan became a member of the Detroit Lions.

In 2007, the Bobcat offense was electrfying on the ground and in the air. Splitting time at the helm, quarterbacks Brad Bower and Theo Scott solidifi ed a passing attack that ranks fi rst in Ohio history in passing yards, 2,564, and passing touchdowns, 17. That spark through the air also led the second highest scoring Bobcat team, accumulating 366 points in 12 games.

But the real story of 2007 was Kalvin McRae, who became Ohio’s all-time leading rusher on Oct. 27. He passed Steveland Hookfi n’s (1995-98) mark of 3,972 yards, eventually fi nishing his career with 4,398 yards. In 2007, McRae also broke Ohio’s rushing touchdowns in a season record, 19, and sits second in career rushing touchdowns with 45. He signed with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008.

In April, defensive end Landon Cohen became the fi rst Bobcat since Dave Zastudil to be drafted in the NFL when the Detroit Lions selected him in the seventh round.

The Bobcats played in their fi rst-ever bowl game on Dec. 31, 1962 when they faced West Texas State in the Sun Bowl. The Bobcats fi nished the regular season with an 8-2 overall record and a 5-1 conference record to fi nish second in the MAC. After a scoreless fi rst quarter, Ohio got on the board fi rst on a 52-yard fi eld goal by Jim McKee. West Texas State answered with a touchdown on a 13-yard halfback pass from Jerry Richardson to Jerry Don Logan, and the extra point gave the Buffs a 7-3 lead they carried into halftime. The Ohio defense accounted for the next score when Skip Hoovler picked up a fumble at the nine-yard line and returned it 91 yards for a touchdown. The play still stands as the longest fumble return in Sun Bowl history and is tied for the fourth longest in any bowl game. Bob Babbitt completed a pass to Ken Smith for the two-point conversion to give Ohio an 11-7 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Hoovler went on to take Lineman of the Game honors. The Bobcats pushed the lead to 14-7 on McKee’s second fi eld goal of the game, a 24-yarder. West Texas State scored late in the contest on a 32-yard touchdown pass from Dave Gibson to Richardson. Instead of tying the game with an extra point, the Buffs went for the win and converted the two-point conversion for the 15-14 victory. McKee set a trio of Sun Bowl records in the game, connecting on two fi eld goals in fi ve attempts, including the 52-yarder. All three of McKee’s misses in the game came from longer than 50 yards (51, 56, 53).

Ohio completed a 10-0 regular season, winning the MAC title to earn a berth in the 1968 Tangerine Bowl. The Bobcats entered the contest scoring 37.6 points per game, which still stands as the school record. The Ohio and Richmond offenses racked up a combined 91 points and 1,001 yards of total offense. The Spiders outgained the Bobcats 556-445. Quarterback Cleve Bryant and end Todd Snyder, both of whom were fi rst-team All-MAC picks, connected on a 48-yard touchdown pass on Ohio’s fi rst possession. Richmond scored the next 14 points, but the Bobcats tied the score on a seven-yard run by Bryant. The Spiders quickly reclaimed their advantage on a touchdown run by Joe Kellum and O’Brien’s second touchdown toss of the day. Another touchdown pass from Bryant to Sndyer made the score 28-21 at halftime. The Ohio duo connected again on a 45-yard score to tie the game in the third quarter, but the Spiders were able to post back-to-back touchdowns to take the lead for good. Dave LeVeck scored to pull the Bobcats to within eight at 42-34. Richmond tallied what proved to be the game-winning touchdown on O’Brien’s fourth touchdown pass. Bryant would add his fourth touchdown pass in the game, a school record that is still in place today. A two-point conversion brought Ohio within seven with 1:53 left, but the Bobcats would get no closer. Bryant completed 17-of-33 passes for 223 yards, while Snyder had 11 catches for 214 yards in the contest. Bryant was later inducted into the Citrus Bowl Hall of Fame in 1988.
