In 1944, NCAA wartime rules allowed students to return and play college ball if they had remaining elibility). Horvath returned to the Shoe and led the Buckeyes to a 9-0 season winning the Heisman trophy as a result. Horvath was the first Buckeye to win the Heisman but other greats followed....

The school retired the #22 jersey in 2001 in Horvath's honor. He was also inducted into the College Football hall of fame in '66 and later the OSU athletics hall of fame in '77.
