He was part of a great 3 year run for the Buckeyes from 1968-1970. They only lost to Michigan in ‘69 and Stanford in the Rose Bowl after the 1970 season. And of course they went undefeated in 1968 crushing the OJ Simpson lead USC Trojans. They actually still sell his jersey at the Buckeyes website.

It couldn’t have been Franklin. He was at Michigan from 71-74 and Tatum’s last year at OSU was 1970.

If it weren't for the Steelers' great run during the 1970's, it's very likely that the Raiders could have won at least two more Super Bowls in that decade--that was back in the days when Al Davis was WAY ahead of the curve in terms of developing great teams.

I guess to be #1 on that list there must be a head in the end zone.

Yes, I know he was a Buckeye. Sheesh.
