As a college student at Ohio State, Jesse Owens set three world records and tied a fourth in one 45-minute period (of course that is only good enough for 3rd place of Big Ten Icons). Owens was recognized this year during the annual Spring Game weekend, as the Offense was able to outlast the Defense. Clearly going into the fall, the mystery of quarterback will be alive and well as we await the time for Pryor's return. Gregg Watson - Buckeye 50 Photographer
