Congrats to Rex Kern for being inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame. Kern was a quarterback at Ohio State from 1968-1970, winning 27 of 29 games and a National Championship in 1968. The Dispatch had a nice article about him in today's paper. Former players Jim Otis and Chris Spielman, along with former coach John Cooper were on the ballot, but they did not get inducted. Below is a picture of Kern along with some accomplishments, from the Columbus Dispatch.
