If you’ve followed Ohio State since Urban Meyer took the head coaching job, you’ve seen a significant shift in offensive output. Gone are the days of defense and special teams winning games (though still important), but rather a breakneck offense that tired out defenses. In other words, Tresselball had its moment in the sun, but “the senator” has been impeached by fireworks and laser light shows.
Even before Tressel, Woody Hayes used his three yards and a could of dust mentality to win several Big Ten championships and national titles. Some of his teams could score as well, but it’s just a different game.
However, sometimes longevity wins out when looking at the amount of touchdowns guys scored during their careers at Ohio State. Guys that put the ball in the end zone are more likely to forgo their fourth and/or fifth years and try to hit pay dirt at the NFL level.
All that being said, who at OSU scored the most touchdowns during their careers? We’ve put together a top 20 list for your viewing pleasure and guarantee you’ll be surprised a little by the list.
Here are the top 20 touchdown leaders in Ohio State football history.
