IT'S PURDUE WEEK AND OHIO STATE'S LEGENDARY “HOLY BUCKEYE!” PLAY IS 19 YEARS OLD

I remember it like it was yesterday. For some odd reason, Purdue gives the Buckeyes fits. This was 2002. The Buckeyes were undefeated and down 3 late to the Boilermakers. Then this:


It's Purdue week. Fittingly, it's also the 19-year anniversary of perhaps the most iconic play in Ohio State football history.

Could be up to the offensive line. No, Krenzel's going to throw for it. Gotta get it off.

They go for the ballgame...

Touchdown! Touchdown! Michael Jenkins! On fourth-and-1! Would you believe it?

Craig Krenzel strikes. With a minute-and-a-half left.

Holy Buckeye!

Purdue is generally a fairly weak team. This isn't really a rivalry like OSU vs Michigan.
