Buckeye Classics

37. 1989 Minnesota
The first half of Ohio State’s 1989 game against Big Ten foe Minnesota was a nightmare come to life. And when quarterback Scott Schafner hit receiver Chris Gators to put the Gophers on top 31-0 things hit rock bottom.

But the Buckeyes didn’t quit and a touchdown and two-point conversion sent them in to the halftime lockers trailing by 23.

That momentum carried into the second half when the Buckeyes scored on their opening drive. Another score followed, followed by another, and all the sudden the tables were turned.

With time running out, Greg Frey hit Jeff Graham for the winning touchdown and what once looked like a horrifying nightmare became a NCAA record-tying comeback victory, 41-37.
