The latest national title is OSU's sixth overall and, combined with 29 Big Ten championships and scores of bowl victories, reason enough for the Buckeye faithful to boast one of the proudest heritages in college football. That entire heritage comes alive in the pages of Greatest Moments in Ohio State Football History, a colorful, insightful retrospective of one of the greatest programs in college athletics." -- from the rear outer jacket.

But with a tradition as proud and storied as theirs, Ohio Stte's incredible Fiesta Bowl victory over Miami on Jan. 3, 2003, rates as just one in a long line of memorable Buckeye moments through the years. The 2002 national championship was Ohio State's first in 34 years and sixth overall. joining the Buckeyes of 1942, 1954, 1957, 1961 and 1968. Factor in OSU's 29 Big Ten championships; a coaching legacy that includes Francis Schmidt, Paul Brown and Woody Hayes; and past Heisman Trophy winners Les Horvath (1944), Vic Janowicz (1950), Howard "Hopalong" Cassady (1955), Archie Griffin (1974, 1975) and Eddie George (1995); and you would be hard-pressed to find another institution that has a richer college football heritage. Ohio State has been setting the standard for big-time college fotball for more tha 100 years, taking part in some of the most meaningful and memorable games of all time. Among them are the 1926 contest against Michigan, which was led by the great passing tandem of Bennie Friedman and Benny Oosterbaan; the epic 1935 matchup with Notre Dame, which the Irish won 18-15 on Bill Shakespeare's pass to Wayne Millner in the final minute; the 1958 win overe Iowa (whose team went on to win that season's Rose Bowl and the national championship); the 50-14 mugging of Michigan in 1968, which catapulted the Buckeyes to the Rose Bowl and a fifth national championship; and the thrilling, double-overtime 31-24 victory over the Hurricanes for the 2002 national title. All of those games and dozens more are replayed in the pages of Greatest Moments in Ohio State Football History, a stunning compilation of the best the Buckeyes have had to offer in the last century. With game stories, profiles, features and brilliant photography, Greatest Moments captures the essence of Buckeyes past and present and belongs in every fan's library." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
