Biggest "Game" and my favorite memory of any of "The Game's" growing up - even the 2006 Game I went to with my Dad and my Son. Watching this in 1974 with my Dad, Uncle, and best friend - my cousin. We were physically sick when Lantry lined up for THE kick. After this Game, I drew sketches of Archie Griffin, Cornelius Greene, Pete Johnson, and Brian Baschmnagel from Sports Illustrated magazine for years. The four FGs made us sick. We HAD to score a Touchdown! My Uncle bitching all game about needing a touchdown and swearing using words we had never heard before. My cousin and I were smirking and not saying a thing. He worked at the Miller Brewery. Planned all year to ensure he did not have a shift during The Game. We played touch football in the backyard at halftime with #45 T-shirts cut off at the midsection with our own version of "tear-away" jerseys on them. The pacing back and forth and listening to my Uncle and Dad swearing and yelling at the TV and bitching is exactly how I still watch every Ohio State game to this day. Used to "record" the games - audio only, of course - with a Radio Shack tape cassette recorder with the microphone in front of the one speaker on the Black & White TV, having to pause, restart, and replace the cassette every 30 minutes. All with my Dad bitching that I kept getting in front of the TV and him bumping into me and the plug-in mic cord that was in the way because he was constantly getting up to adjust the antenna and the tin foil on it to get a better picture. Classic. Still makes me laugh and howl to this day. At the very moment, with the timeout before the Lantry missed FG at the end of The Game, my cousin was so nervous he asked me to ask my mom to go make us a pizza because he was having what today I now know was a panic attack. The bright, sunny Saturday and the 4th quarter shadows loomed over the final kick as they were driving to score and did not - and then lined up for the winning kick and missed it!! We were hyperventilating over The Game. In elementary school. Can't make this up. Great memory - God Bless you for putting this out there, "College Football Historian!!"
p.s. I took my Dad to the 2014 National Championship. Fate and a Wish were granted that evening. In the celebration, after they beat Oregon after the game, I went to get a Coke and said, "The heck with it, let's get out of the stadium." In that split second, I turned and bumped into my all-time hero, Archie Griffin, in the crowd leaving the stadium in Arlington. In 15 seconds, I told him about my entire Ohio State fandom and his impact on my life, which motivated me every day from 4th grade to get into a service academy and eventually serve in the US Army. It was all because he was my hero, role model, and idol. If Archie did it, to me, I had to model him and outplay and outwork everyone just like he did. He shook my hand and flashed that smile like he probably has 10's of thousands of times in his life and vanished into the crowd. Could not believe I met him. At the National Championship. With my Dad. I have never ever forgotten his running in this game. I will never forget to this day what a true hero was to me and what a life-changing impact he had.
That's a cool story. Archie is such a legend.
Keith Jackson is the absolute OG of College football. The sound of his voice is an Autumn afternoon football. John Madden OG Pro Ball
Woody Hayes calls our mudslinging social media condition out, 48 years in advance at the conclusion of his rant against the media, starting at 11:38.
Michigan grad here, but the first time i saw Script Ohio in real life, i had goose bumps. Still do when i see it.
Me too. I'm one of those Michigan fans whom respect Ohio State. We're two rivals, whom are link by a shared tradition, history and geography.
@@collegefootballhistorian2078 you have a great video lineup. One I don't see, but someone else did put it on RUclips, is the 1973 Ohio State Michigan 10-10 tie. Hard to believe that was 50 years ago.
If I remember correctly it was the Michigan band that did it first for the OSU vs MSU game in the thirties and it later became a OSU band tradition
@@buckeyeg4888 That is correct. It is actually a French marching piece.
Woody Hayes predicated 50 years ago the state of things that our society was heading into. Rest in peace Woody Hayes you were one of the great coaches in history.
[chuckling tone] Ah! Yes! Dave Diles reporting on the Slippery Rock U football score at 2:51:01 in this video. ABC-TV college football post game reports usually included the Slippery Rock scores in the 1970s telecasts.
UM football games stadium announcing is credited for starting that tradition prior to ABC-TV sports adopted it.
college football once had such pageantry.
In the last 30 seconds of the game when Keith Jackson commented about UM kicker Lantry was, in essence, a _walk-on_ for the FB team, is very telling about the possible lack of concern the UM coaching staff had when it came to recruiting talents for the Wolverines' kicking game.
Wide right can't see left. Legger..liked how Woodie pulled his guard around tackle to hit LB, then shuffle fb as well to hit holes. before 45 hits gap. As 53min mark shows. Once the hole was so big QB n FB tripped over selves at TE hole when 45 pitch wasn't made ..big gainer. Guys loved the run and a split line..dad used it a lot and won trophy locally. I was telling the shotgun at 7 but he didn't listen. What did I know.
That astroturf looks like concrete.
A couple of LSU sports information people who went to Ohio Stadium in 1988 for the Tigers-Buckeyes game told me it was concrete.
All it was was a blanket of green laid over a concrete top. If you notice most of the players wore elbow pads for protection. It was a great way to cut expenses and playing careers.
They laid it over concrete 😬
You are correct
@@buckeyeg4888 The individual blades of fiber used in the old astroturf were already short to begin with but it was even worse if the schools retained it long after it had gone beyond it's replacement window which made it even worse. I played on this crap in both high school and college back in the late 1970s to early mid 1980s and you absolutely needed the elbow and knee pads because the abrasions were a nightmare that stayed with you the entire season as the scabs kept ripping open from hitting the turf along with the sweat keeping them soft and nasty. Hydrogen peroxide was my friend.🤣
It looked good!!!
AWESOME . Bravo
Keith Jackson forgot to introduce two time Heismqn winner Archie Griffin during the opening lineups!
@P RH Check out the beginning when the players are announced and run onto the field. Griffin’s name isn’t on the list so the order gets messed up, and the names don’t match the players
Archie griffin great college football running back
@P RH I hear Joe Washington should've won the Heisman trophy 🏆 in 1975
@@lloydkline Joe definitely had a better pro career than either Griffin or Davis.
@@lloydkline Oklahoma was still banned from TV during the 1975 regular season so a lot of Heisman voters only heard about Washington. The ban was lifted for the Orange Bowl.
Michigan Wolverine Chuck Heater ended up playing for The North Side in December of 1974 in The Blue Gray Game at Montgomery's Crampton Field.🤔🐺🏈B.W.
The last time a Michigan player participated in the Blue-Gray Game
If they had higher goalposts like they do today it may have been good 🤷🏻♂️
Agreed. I still to this day think that fg was good
It was good
It WAS good. I was a rabid Ohio State fan growing up in Columbus and I knew it was good. Lantry did not deserve to live through the despondency he must’ve in the years after that kick.
Then again, the goalposts have been five feet narrower since 1991...
That kick was good
Woooooo...Nellie!!!!
1:12:19 that's Doug Plank shedding a block and going airborne to finish off that tackle, announcer.
The game that sent Michigan, 10-1 after this loss, "Home for the Holidays".
@P RH
YUP! Those Buckeyes were USC’s ticket to the National Championship when John McKay went for two after the Touchdown and beat Ohio State 18-17.
Usc football used to own Ohio state football 1970s
@@lloydkline
Except 1973 when Ohio State beat the Trojans 42-21 on New Year’s Day, 1974.
@allinfun829 USC won 18-17 on a last-minute TD and two-point conversion. Not exactly sliced and diced. Yes, the Buckeyes were sliced and diced two years earlier, 42-17.
"Looked Good To Me"
Another great win for the Buckeyes ... O-H!
Landry's field goal is almost impossible to call from that angle...
I still feel badly for him. A good man who couldn't catch a break two years in a row.

2:52.57 Oklahoma-Nebraska moved off of Thanksgiving due to the Sooners' TV ban. Notice there's no ranking in front of Oklahoma even though they were #1 in the AP, because ABC was using UPI, which banned teams on probation from being ranked starting in 1974.
Dammit no bandstand today smh lol
Ohio State started a 4 home game TD free drought against Michigan
34:46 Doug Plank #28 made a good effort and nearly got him.
If the game was at Michigan, would the field goal still be called no good?
I've spoke to some people here in Columbus that were at that game. They said the kick was right up the middle of the up rights. They thought it was good.
My brother and I, dedicated OSU haters, watched the MSU game. When Levi Jackson went 88 yards, we both could not breathe we had yelled so much.
(2:14:14 F bomb alert!)
Interesting that Michigan and OSU basically are the same team. I formation with a wing, power football with some option, and a 50 on defense. Short yardage both teams double TE and 3 RBs. Of course, this was probably true of about 90% of the country in the mid 70s.
This was such a great rivalry!
Schembechler learned how to coach as an assistant for Woody Hayes...The Michigan way, back then, was really the Ohio State way.
@@TheVCRTimeMachine The real Ohio St way was to go get the best players.
Mike lantry is a poster child on why teams need good kickers. Bo never put a emphasis on kickers in recruiting
John McKay used to say kicker like grass they grow everywhere
Incorrect. Bo emphasized it in the early 80s onward. Especially after the 1979 season debacle.
@@mfriedrich2012 the entire decade of the 70’s was terrible kicking wise. Dana coin wasn’t much better
@@markhoezee6292 Schembechler teams ground opponents into fine powered by the 3rd quarter with passless offense.
I get why kickers were not a priority.
Ups and downs.
It was rare for college football teams to have awesome kickers 1970s.
For every Uwe von Schaman, Tony Franklin and Russell Erxleben, most teams did not feature anything special.
As pass blocking rules changed, and the option rushing offenses were gradually neutralized, pass defense, punting, fg kicking from distance became critical.
Dana Coin 13 of 27 FGM 48%
Bob Wood 7 of 10 FGM 70%
Greg Willner 10 of 25 FGM 40%
Bryan Virgil 4 of 13 FGM 31%
Ali haji-sheikh 23 of 38 61%
Bob Bergeron 29 of 35 83%
@@mfriedrich2012 all true but kicking cost them two games vs. Ohio state
Bo would have a dozen or more extra wins in his ledger if he ever had a decent kicker...his special teams play was dreadful. It didn't matter against most teams, but in games like this it did.
That was one lesson old Lloyd learned. I'm not saying they were perfect, but Lloyd had some good kickers.
It's a shame technology wasn't further along when this game was played. There's a chance that fg was good. I've watched it so many times. Cameras weren't as high definition back then, no replay system. That fg may have been good
60 minutes@
I've never understood Michigan's crying over the '73 decision, aside from not playing in a bowl game. Ohio State came in at #1 and never trailed while on the road. Michigan did not do what it needed to replace them. I don't get it?
At the time I think many fans were used to the old system where no team could go to the rose bowl in back to back years regardless of there status as conference crown. 1973 was the first year in which team could do that. You either take care of business on the field or you leave it up to chance with the ADs which of course was a terrible system, but those were the rules.
@@collegefootballhistorian2078
Well, Ohio State was the deserving team to go to the Rose Bowl. As said, they were never behind in that game on the road. Michigan's only complaint was that it wasn't allowed a bowl game.
This is just like this year. Michigan did not play a ranked team all year. Lost to OSU and didn't make a bowl appearance. If they lose again this year they're out of the playoffs.
It weird that that the athletic director have the power to determine who will go to the rose bowl. Plus that's was a stupid rule that a team couldn't go to the rose bowl back to back years
The Big Eight had a no-repeat rule for the Orange Bowl in the 1950s to prevent Oklahoma from going every year.
Such a sad video. Go Blue!
Two black qbs in this classic
Tennessee and Georgia Tech had such a matchup in the 1972 season opener: Conredge Holloway for the Volunteers and Eddie McAshan for the Yellow Jackets
And a Black QB beat OSU two weeks before, at East Lansing. Charlie Baggett.
I will go to my grave thinking that FG was good. I feel sorry for Lantry. To hear him speak he sounds like he takes personal responsibility for the 1973 tie and the 1974 loss. In Ann Arbor that FG is good.
I'm a Buckeye fan and I've always wondered the same thing. I'm still trying to figure out how he missed it. There was a healthy amount of politics in college football back then. And it did seem to favor Ohio State. 1973 vote of AD's went Ohio State's way because the AD's didn't think Michigan could win without injured Dennis Franklin, who broke his collar bone in the 4th quarter.

The kick was good and the ref should have called a penalty on the OSU linebacker who jumped on top of the lineman to block the kick...
Joe pa with kieth Jackson 👍🇺🇲🏈
