Ohio State to wear throwback uniforms in honor of 1916 team

Ohio State will honor the 1916 Buckeyes team by wearing throwback uniforms on Saturday night for its game against Nebraska.  

The 1916 Ohio State team went undefeated that year under head coach John Wilce and was led by three-time All-American Chic Harley. The uniforms will honor the 100th year anniversary of the team. 

The red jerseys have white numbers with vertical grey stripes. The pants are always grey, while the helmet is a matte dark grey color.
