Archie Griffin Still Shines at 72 | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Archie Griffin, the only two-time Heisman winner in college football history, turned 72 with a surprise birthday tribute from the Big Ten Network—showcasing him scoring a touchdown at the Ohio State spring game in his iconic number 45. His legendary career from 1972–75 included over 5,000 rushing yards, a 31-game streak of 100+ rushing yards (still an NCAA record), four Big Ten titles, and four Rose Bowls. Even decades later, his impact endures: his jersey is retired, he was drafted by the Bengals, and no player since has matched his historic feat. The tribute reminded fans—and the sport—that Archie set a standard still unmatched today. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
