The Men Behind the Numbers: Number 85, Mike Nugent

The Gold Standard of Ohio State kickers.

85 days until kickoff! That means it’s time for another edition of The Men Behind the Numbers. Today’s edition takes us back to when we didn’t hold our breathe on field goal attempts. If you were alive during the Mike Nugent era (2001-2004) you remember the “NNNUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE” chants and cheers that were heard all around Ohio Stadium. The 2019 OSU Hall of Famer was about as reliable as kickers college come.
