Archie Griffin to Dot the 'i' During Ohio State’s Season Opener Against Akron

One of college football's all-time great players will participate in one of college football's all-time great traditions this fall.

On Thursday, Ohio State revealed two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin will dot the "i" in Script Ohio at halftime of the Buckeyes' season opener against Akron.

"The opportunity, in Ohio Stadium, to dot the 'i' is a very special honor," Griffin said in an Ohio State press release. "I know that Woody (Hayes) was proud to have had that opportunity, and I am following in his footsteps and am extremely proud of this opportunity."

In 88 years of Script Ohio, seven non-band members have dotted the 'i': comedian Bob Hope (1978), Hayes (1983), golfer Jack Nicklaus (2006), Sen.
