I came across this clip scrolling Twitter at work and wanted to share it. I'm not sure who these two teams are. Scoreboard says Ohio vs ND. Buckeyes played them in 35. A game ND won 18-13 after trailing 13-0. Is this that game? Original post claims to be from 40s. At the time the attendance for that game was a record. Some 81000 people came to watch the game which was nearly 30000 more people than attended any other game that season. The footage itself is fascinating. The sport looked absolutely brutal back then. Enjoy.

EDIT: This is indeed the 1935 game versus Notre Dame. Dubbed the Game of The Century. The play in this clip is probably the first recorded pick 6 in Ohio State history. Also note the scoreboard in Ohio Stadium where Ohio State is called simply, Ohio. Maybe Brady Hoke was just paying homage to our rich and storied history.
