Ohio State Football top ten all-time passers in Buckeyes history

Ohio State football career passing leader No. 4: Bobby Hoying

• 7,232 yards passing
• 57 TDs
• 35 INTs,
• 58% completion

Bobby Hoying was the start of the modern passing era for the Ohio State football program. He finished his Buckeye career with 7,232 yards, 57 touchdowns, and 35 interceptions. He completed 58% of his passes as well and was the leader of the 1995 team.

That 1995 team still gets talked about as one of the best Ohio State football teams of all time. It was once again a time when Cooper couldn’t beat TTUN because of some Michigan fullback that ran for a bunch of yards. You remember his name. I’m just too bitter to say it.

Hoying had his best season that year, throwing for 3,269 yards and 29 touchdowns. He was a starter for the Buckeyes for three seasons. He did about as well as any quarterback in the 90s for what that era was in terms of passing in the Big Ten Conference.

Had the Buckeyes beaten TTUN in ’95, Hoying’s career would be remembered much differently. He’d be hailed as one of the best quarterbacks in the program’s history for winning a national title. Instead, he’s remembered as a nice player and nothing more than that.

Now we’ve reached the top three on our list! The next player is more remembered for his off-the-field problems than his on-field accomplishments.
