Ohio State’s highest point total was 42 in the 1974 Rose Bowl.  Its second highest was only 27 in the 1969 Rose Bowl.

So...next Tuesday, I would assume the Buckeyes are more likely than not to at least do better than 1969, right?  

The bottom line: even though I have watched (on TV) 10 Rose Bowls, I was still surprised to be reminded that they have only surpassed 30 points once.  

Here’s hoping for a new record for points by the Buckeyes in a Rose Bowl on Jan 1.
