Antonio Pittman finished the 2005 season with 1,331 yards rushing and seven touchdowns on 243 carries. His rushing yardage was the 10th-best single-season mark in school history and only Archie Griffin gained more yards (1,577) as a sophomore. He clinched the 2006 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish by erupting for a 60-yard touchdown run with 1:46 left in the game, despite having an injured hamstring.[5] In 2005, he became just the fourth sophomore in Ohio State annals to rush for 1,000 or more yards in a season, joining Archie Griffin, Vince Workman and Keith Byars. On January 15, 2007, Pittman made the decision to forgo his senior year and declared himself eligible for the NFL Draft. Antonio Pittman has hand signed this Ohio State Buckeyes 8x10 Photo #25.
