Woody Hayes Demoted Archie Griffin, But He Later Made History
Archie Griffin, the only two-time Heisman Trophy winner in college football history, faced a rocky start after being demoted to fifth string just after his debut in 1972. Following a fumble during a blowout win against Iowa, Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes questioned Griffin's ability and sidelined him. Yet, after coach Rudy Hubbard advocated for Griffin, he was given a chance against North Carolina, where he made an impressive comeback with over 250 total offensive yards and a touchdown. This performance not only marked the beginning of Griffin's legendary career but also set a new Ohio State rushing record that stood for decades. On the eve of Ohio State's 2024 football season, Griffin will be honored with a new statue outside the stadium, celebrating his remarkable contributions to college football.
