One score years ago Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Panthers rolled into the Ohio Stadium for a contest against the No. 7 Ohio State Buckeyes, who had won the last three years by a combined score of 144-45.

The Buckeyes led 52-0 at halftime. When the dust settled at 72-0, the Panthers were left with their worst loss in school history.
