The Ohio State football team went 6-4 following a championship season and lost to that team up north. Then things took off in large part due to another great bunch of backs.
In 1972 fullback Champ Henson scored 20 touchdowns and freshmen were eligible to play. Running back Archie Griffin became a star immediately rushing for 857 yards. That was the beginning of a nice stretch for Woody.
The next season Hanson was injured and only scored 4 touchdowns but Bruce Elia filled in and scored 14. Woody went away from the T formation except for certain situations because the I formation would allow Archie to get more touches.
