100 Years Ago, Ohio State Had an Unlikely Feud with Wisconsin and Began the Fundraiser to Erect Ohio Stadium

It's pretty wild to think Ohio State football enters its 130th season this fall, assuming the coronavirus doesn't spoil things.

Exactly 100 years ago, the 1920 season had its fair share of notable happenings.

Head coach Dr. John Wilce entered his eighth year at the helm having already posted two undefeated seasons (1916, 1917) and the school's first-ever win over Michigan, in 1919, thanks to the exploits of Chic Harley.

Wilce would be without Harley heading into 1920 but 1919 quarterback Pete Stinchcomb was back, this time as Harley's replacement at halfback, while Hoge Workman took over signal-calling duties.
