To celebrate Ohio Stadium's 100th Anniversary, we got in the time machine to went back to the first-ever game in the Shoe. Twitter didn't exist in 1922, but if it did this is how Ohio State vs. Ohio Wesleyan would have played out from the press box.
Good morning, football rooters.

Winters punted, but it hit Ohio State right tackle Boni Petcoff and rebounded into Wesleyan goal.

A soggy and slow game sees your Buckeyes up 5-0 over their neighbors to the north. One safety and one goal from field for Ohio State.
