Mike Doss named honorary Ohio State captain for Peach Bowl

20 years after bringing a national championship to Ohio State, Mike Doss will be on the field again as an honorary captain. #GoBucks

When you think of all-time Ohio State greats, Mike Doss has to be right there close to the top. Doss could have left Columbus after a stellar junior season, but he chose to come back and take care of some unfinished business for his senior year. He certainly delivered, giving Buckeye Nation its first national championship since 1968.

Now the former legend of the ‘Shoe and recent College Football Hall of Fame inductee will be on the field once again. Twenty years after taking Ohio State to the promised land, Doss will stand at midfield for the coin flip as an honorary Buckeye captain for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl matchup against Georgia.

On the UGA side, former star cornerback, Champ Bailey will take the field as the honorary caption for the Bulldogs.

Ohio State is preparing to take on No. 1 Georgia in the playoff semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Dec. 31 in Atlanta, Georgia. Be sure to check out our preview and prediction to get you ready for the big game.
