Each week, Gameday+ takes a look at an Ohio State game played on this date.
Setup // Ohio State entered the 1996 season with punctuation issues. Gone from the record-setting offense of 1995 were exclamation points — Eddie George! Bobby Hoying! Terry Glenn! In their place were question marks — Stanley Jackson or Joe Germaine? Can Pepe Pearson fill George’s shoes? Who are these freshmen? The answers came quickly, and emphatically.
Stars // Jackson and Germaine combined for 315 yards passing, Pearson rushed for 119 yards and three touchdowns and some of the newbies made an excellent first impression.
