Results same for Woody, Tressel

In a legendary career, Hayes set the unofficial record as the most bombastic and cantankerous, the most famous, the most temperamental, the most history-conscious, the most profane and, for the people of Ohio, the most beloved coach in Big Ten football history.

"I think about him every day," said two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin, now CEO of the Ohio State Alumni Association. "Woody used his outbursts to motivate. He knew what he was doing. We would pass the ball when it was necessary, but he wanted to control the game on the ground. Woody has one thing in common with Jim Tressel. Both care so much about the university."
