100 Teams in 100 Days: 1930 Marked Final Season for Wes Fesler, Ohio State's First Big Ten MVP

As we countdown the rich and storied history of Ohio State football, we look back at the 1930 Buckeyes, Wes Fesler's final season.

86 days and counting.

Ohio State end Wes Fesler entered the 1930 season with a chance to cap his illustrious career as a Buckeye. Fesler had twice been named consensus All-American and second-year head coach Sam Willaman recognized the need to feature his talented senior even more than he'd be utilized in years past.

Playing in Willaman's newly-installed wingback system, the Youngstown product lined up nearly everywhere on the offensive side of the ball and helped the Buckeyes to a 5–2–1 record.
