The 1936 Season
The 1936 season started with
an OSU record crowd of 72,948 for the Buckeyes opener against New
York University and ended with Ohio State's 400th all-time game
being played against Michigan. The AP weekly football poll
appeared for the first time during the 1936 season with Minnesota
being named the National Champs. The Buckeye Defense posted
5 shut-outs in 1936 and was shut-out once themselves by
Pittsburgh. The Buckeyes had three All Americans this season: end
Merle Wendt, tackle Charlie Hamrick and guard Inwood Smith.

"MSU posted the
most offensive yards gained per game against the Buckeye D this
season. Yes the Spartans have a great offense, but if our
Defense didn't have to spend 3/4 of the game on the field the opposing
offenses wouldn't have as much success. I
still think we need to get away from the spread offense and run a
traditional backfield set with Pittman getting the ball 25+ times per
game." |
