100 Teams in 100 Days: JFK's Assassination Puts Perspective on Ohio State's 1963 Season

Only three starters returned to Ohio State's offense in 1963, led by Paul Warfield and Matt Snell. The lack of experience posed a problem for Woody Hayes' team.

53 days and counting.

Warfield and Snell gave it all they had, but the offense only produced 110 points over the course of the entire season. The lack of scoring played large in Ohio State's three losses.
