October 23, 1982 game program signed by Ohio State head coach Earle Bruce and Indiana head coach Lee Corso and ticket stub. Ohio State dominated the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington to the tune of a 42-25 score. Tim Spencer ran a couple touchdowns and Mike Tomczak threw for a couple scores as well.

Bruce was the head coach at Ohio State from 1979-1987, winning at least nine games in eight of his nine seasons. He finished with a 5-4 record against the Wolverines, dramatically winning in Ann Arbor in 1987 after being fired by OSU earlier in the week. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2002.

Corso was the coach of the Hoosiers from 1973-1982 and became famous as one of the long-time hosts on ESPN's College Game Day.  He, of course, is known for donning the school's head gear while announcing his pick for the game they are covering each Saturday and began the tradition by wearing Brutus the Buckeye before Ohio State defeated Penn State in 1996.  Corso must recently made his final head gear pick, putting on his "First Love" Brutus head in picking the Buckeyes over top-ranked Texas.

Earle Bruce and Lee Corso signed the cover of the program boldly in black sharpie, with Bruce adding "Go Bucks!"
