Ohio State plans to honor the late Howard “Hopalong” Cassady by having its players wear helmet decals with his jersey number, 40, during Saturday's game against Miami (Ohio).
Cassady died early Friday morning.

As the third Heisman Trophy winner in program and a two-time consensus All-American, Cassady is one of just seven players in program history to have his jersey number retired.
