As we countdown the rich and storied history of Ohio State football, we look back at the 1933 Buckeyes, the last season for Sam Willaman.
The rumblings from the media, fans and alumni were at an all-time high entering the 1933 season. Head coach Sam Willaman had won 19 games in his four seasons in Columbus, but had had never finished above fourth place in the Big Ten, falling well short of the expectations set by his predecessor, John Wilce.
1933 was shaping up as a huge season for the native of Salem, Ohio.
