Ohio State lost a legend Friday as former head coach Earle Bruce passed away at the age of 87 after a battle with Alzheimers.
Bruce compiled an 81-26-1 record with four Big Ten titles in nine years at the helm of the Ohio State football program, including a 5-4 record against Michigan. His impact was made across Ohio before and after his coaching career with the Buckeyes, as he led Massillon Washington High School to back-to-back undefeated seasons before returning to his alma mater as an assistant coach from 1966-71. He is the only coach in Massillon's storied history to never lose a game as head coach.
