Dick LeBeau still misses his days playing football at Ohio State: “I left three of my teeth out in Ohio Stadium ... I’d give the rest of them to get out there for one more play.”
Even after spending nearly six full decades in the NFL, Dick LeBeau still misses his days playing football at Ohio State.
It was those NFL accomplishments that LeBeau was being recognized for when he received the “Ohio’s Finest” award at the Ohio State Coaches Clinic on Thursday night. But even though it’s been more than 63 years since LeBeau played his final game in scarlet and gray, he said Thursday that he wishes he could strap on the pads and play in the Shoe one more time.
“I left three of my teeth out in Ohio Stadium ... I’d give the rest of them to get out there for one more play.”Ryan Day said he spent time in his office talking with LeBeau before Thursday’s clinic, and while college football has changed in many ways since LeBeau was at Ohio State playing for Woody Hayes, there was one particular message LeBeau shared that Ohio State’s current head coach took to heart.
