Don Sutherin, who made a game-winning field goal for Ohio State in the 1958 Rose Bowl and went on to become a Canadian Football Hall of Famer, died Tuesday at 85 years old.

Sutherin’s kick led the Buckeyes to a 10-7 win over the Ducks which led to a split national championship for Ohio State; the Buckeyes, who finished the 1957 season with a 9-1 record, were ranked No. 1 in the UPI coaches’ poll, but Auburn was ranked No. 1 in the AP poll.

Sutherin was selected in the eighth round of the 1958 NFL draft by the New York Giants, but had more success in the Canadian Football League, where he continued to play both defensive back and kicker and won four Grey Cups with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Ottawa Rough Riders. A three-time CFL All-Star and six-time CFL East All-Star, Sutherin played 12 total seasons in the CFL and then became a coach for more than two decades, winning three more Grey Cups as an assistant.

The CFL’s Calgary Stampers, who he won the 1992 Grey Cup with as an assistant coach, were among those who paid tribute to Sutherin on Tuesday.He contributed so much to the CFL over the years and he will be sadly missed. On behalf of the entire Stampeders organization, I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Ohio State Finishes in Top Six of AP Poll for Eighth Consecutive YearOhio State finishes sixth in the AP Top 25, marking the eighth consecutive year the Buckeyes have finished in the top six of the final AP poll. Ridiculous, meaningless final poll. Baylor way overrated, and Cincy couldn't fight its way out of a wet paper bag playing any of the top 10 teams! Lol Cinci. No biggie.

Skull Session: Marcus Freeman Compares Ohio State and Notre Dame, Ohio State Stuffs the Stat Sheet, and Chris Holtmann Watches From HomeSkull Session: The Buckeyes stuff the stat sheet, Marcus Freeman says Notre Dame offers something 'nowhere else in the country can give you' compare to Ohio State, and more. We better DESTROY ND in the home opener after those comments. As if OSU doesn’t provide NC capabilities and NFL draft talent more consistently than ND. Maybe he means ND offers you a guaranteed first weekend of December off, since they never play for a conference championship I mean what exactly are we expecting him to say publicly? “Yeah OSU is the greatest out there but please come to ND anyway!”? We need to stop this insanity. Freeman is a great guy and we should hope for a ton of success for him….just not against us.
