All of us watch Buckeye football every fall Saturday, but none remember the 1890 team, Ohio State's first varsity squad.
With 2018 National Signing Day in the books, Ohio State has officially inked its 128th recruiting class.
While this is the 128th, at one point, of course, there was #1. The 1890 team was the first, and today in a special edition of Saturday Spotlight, we take a look back at the team that started it all.
The Beginning
While college football was born in 1869, when Rutgers defeated Princeton by a final score of 6-4, Ohio State did not begin officially participating in the sport until 21 years later, in 1890.
