1995: Ohio State v. Illinois (Drive-Thru)

http://www.ourhonordefend.com

Illinois enters a world of pain in the 1995 matchup between the Fighting Illini and Ohio State. While the story line entering the game was Terry Glenn's injury, Illinois' top 10 defense, and John Cooper's 1-6 record against Illinois, the story line after the game was Eddie George's record setting day. In this game, he surpassed Keith Byars' game record rushing total in 1984 (coincidentally also against Illinois) and became the first (and so far only) Buckeye tailback to surpass 300yds rushing in a single game.

In this compilation of the game's highlights, I draw most attention to the offense (and specifically: Eddie George) since Illinois' offense was rather crappy. That's not to diminish the efforts of the defensive line (Vrabel, Finkes in particular) in dominating Illinois, just that, for brevity's sake, I needed to dedicate most time to the offense as it was the story of the day

First of 4 touchdowns for Glenn on the day.<br /><br />To be fair, Rickey Dudley might have gotten away with a block in the back.  Referee saw it but didn't call it, so we continue.<br /><br />Terry Glenn went on to break the Ohio State record for receiving yards in a game (253 yards) in a 54-14 rout of the Panthers. You would have to go back to the gunslinging days of Art Schlichter to find the previous record holder (Gary Williams, 220 yards against the Seminoles in 1981.  The Buckeyes ended up losing that game 36-27).  Santonio Holmes would later top Williams' mark by 4 (Marshall 2004, 224 yards).
