Wasn't this the game where Woody was punching himself on the sidelines near the end? My dad has that on a Bob Ufer audio casette.

[WolverineHistorian]

Yes it was. But while looking through the game, I couldn't find the footage even though I've read in articles that it was caught on TV. I'll have to go back again and see if maybe I missed it.

Woody went after the Cameraman in 1977. Ohio St had just fumbled while going in for a possible tying TD that would have sent them to the Rose Bowl

[MrTennesseeVols]

Three yards and a cloud of dust at it's finest!

[Legostudiosplus]

The thing I'm most happy about, is that Woody's last game against Michigan was a failure. Bo beat Woody in Woody's last time coaching Ohio State in "The Game." GO Blue!

[FRSFreeStatePlus]

Another low scoring game between Michigan and Ohio State

[MIXERPILOT1]

Just imagine if Rick Leach had had Anthony Carter to throw to...

[ErikS1975FreeState]

"Battle of the Trenches" would be a good way to describe the Michigan Ohio State game

[Pizzle012]

R.I.P. Rodney Feaster Southwestern Alum one of the best ever

[ggoblue]

they wouldnt have fired woody for that love tap if he wasnt on a 3 game loss streak vs michigan.

[ggoblue]

always blew my mind how woody gave him the starting job over rod gerald. gerald was a returning senior on a big ten co championship team. and gerald was in at qb by the end of this game.
