Former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce will dot the “i” during the performance of “Script Ohio” before the Rutgers game, according to Matt McCoy of WTVN radio.
Woody Hayes is the only other former Ohio State coach who has been honored with dotting the “i.” Bob Hope, John Glenn and Jack Nicklaus are among the select few non-band members who’ve done so. A fourth- or fifth-year sousaphone player usually dots the “i.”
Script Ohio was first performed on Oct. 10, 1936, and is one of college football’s most revered traditions.
Bruce coached the Buckeyes from 1979-87.
