Ohio State vs Illinois (1969)
In front of a homecoming crowd of 86,576, the Buckeyes blasted Illinois 41-0, scoring in each quarter, on the way to amassing 31 first downs and 564 total yards, while holding the Illini to eight first downs.h The win was Ohio State's 19th in a row.
Ohio State vs Wisconsin (1969)

Ohio State at Michigan State (1970)
Behind 287 rushing yards, the Buckeyes blanked Michigan State 29-0 in Spartan Stadium. John Brockington led the ground attack with 126 yards.
Ohio State vs Princeton (1928)
Remember when Princeton was good at football? We don't either, but our grandfathers tell us that they were once quite the outfit. In front of a sellout homecoming crowd of 72,496 at Ohio Stadium, the Buckeyes and Tigers played to a 6–6 tie and that's the last time we kissed anyone from the Ivy League.
Despite the low-scoring affair, this game was an instant classic in its day. Consider this report from the Columbus Citizen:
Ohio and Princeton supporters will never reach an agreement on who should have won the game. But they'll always be in accord on one point. It was one of the greatest games ever played anywhere by two teams.
