Only nine starters returned from Ohio State's 1974 team, leaving change as the theme in Woody Hayes' 25th season as head coach.

41 days and counting.

However, the Buckeyes did not endure transition in the backfield. Brian Baschnagel, Cornelius Green, Pete Johnson and Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin all returned, giving Hayes worthwhile horses for his ground-and-pound offense.
