Comments:
The Buckeyes had owned Illinois throughout the 1970`s but this game signified a coming change in this rivalry. The Buckeyes expected very little from Illinois but got all they could handle as Illini QB Dave Wilson Passed for a new NCAA Yardage record. The Buckeyes survived behind stellar play from Art Schlicter but a new era had arison in this rivalry.
