Item # OSL-35 Ted Provost Reunion Print In 1968, Ohio State, led by Woody Hayes and eleven future All-Americans, won college football's National Championship. They completed their regular season an undefeated 10-0 after beating Michigan 50-14 to clinch the Big Ten title. On New Year's Day in the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes beat USC 27-16 led by Heisman Trophy winner O.J. Simpson. Ted Provost was a leader on the defense which only gave up an average of fifteen points and 291 yards per game. At a critical point in the 1968 season, the Buckeyes were playing conference favored Purdue led by Mike Phipps and Leroy Keyes. Ted picked off a pass and ran it in for a touchdown to help Ohio State win 14-0. His 3 interceptions in one game rank him tied for first all-time and his 16 career interceptions rank him fourth all-time in the Buckeye record books. Provost was selected All-Big Ten twice and All-American in 1969. After graduation, he played two years in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings and the St. Louis Cardinals. Ted finished his career playing five years in the Canadian Football League. He is a member of the Ohio State Hall of Fame. In Columbus in 1993, the entire team was recognized at a reunion banquet. At the banquet, Artists for Athletes offered a series of prints paying tribute to the eleven All-Americans who played on that team. The print run was limited to only 100, and each All-American received 33 of their own prints as a gift with another 33 prints going to the sponsors of the event. The remaining 34 prints sold out fast to the 1,000 people who attended the banquet. This 11 x 14 inch limited edition unmatted print of Ted Provost is signed and numbered by the artist. It is one of the prints offered at the reunion event and is not autographed. It will attract quite a bit of attention displayed in your home or office. Remember that only 100 of these prints were ever produced. This is also a great gift idea for a Buckeye fan, a loved one or can be a unique auction item for a charity fundraising event.
