Former Ohio State Running Back Jerry Krall Dies at 92 Years Old

Ohio State lost a legend this week as former Buckeye running back Jerry Krall passed away at the age 92.

A four-year letterman at Ohio State, Krall was a do-it-all offensive weapon. His final season with the Buckeyes in 1949, he led the team in rushing, passing and receiving according to the Toledo Blade, and was a integral part of the team's 1950 Rose Bowl victory, rushing for 50 yards and throwing for 20.

The Ohio player of the year as a senior, Krall was highly recruited coming out of high school and narrowed his list to two potential colleges to Ohio State and Michigan before literally flipping a coin to decide his college future.
