Rob Oller commentary: Offensive line will pave Ohio State's path to success
Chris Ward was a third wheel on the great Ohio State teams of the mid-1970s. Or maybe the third and fourth wheel, considering he weighed in at 275.
Ward played left tackle on an offense that included running backs Archie Griffin and Pete Johnson and quarterback Cornelius Greene, which means most fans only noticed him when he false-started or fell on a fumble.
