I was a freshman in 1981 when Brian Burke was the coach. I remember Ohio had a goal-line stand at the end of the game to beat BG. A friend from Worthington High School Dave Flexer was a freshman linebacker who later moved to TE.
Other than the finish of the BG game, the most exciting action at Peden was when there were large rolls of paper on the hill across the highway rolled out to read "Ribs at Ritz". Then some students went up the hill to change the sign to "Tits at Ritz". Then we laughed as the out of shape cops were trying to climb up the hill to remove the sign.
I grew up in Columbus rooting for my parents school in that town but I do remember seeing the Brian Burke show Sunday mornings. I also remember the Old Shriner's All-Star game for Ohio Colleges that was played in Ohio Stadium that was televised. I remember the Old Ohio helmets with the State of Ohio outline which made more of an impression than many of the other school helmets.
