Who was the opponent's player that Ohio State coach Woody Hayes punched?

Ultimately, Hayes' volatile temper ended his career. On December 29, 1978, Ohio State played in the Gator Bowl against Clemson. Late in the fourth quarter, the Buckeyes were down by two points. Freshman quarterback Art Schlichter drove the Buckeyes down the field into field goal range. On 3rd and 5 at the Clemson 24-yard line with 2:30 left and the clock running, Hayes called a pass rather than a run because Schlichter was having a great game up to that point. The pass was intercepted by Clemson nose guard Charlie Bauman, who returned it toward the OSU sideline where he was run out of bounds. After Bauman rose to his feet, Hayes punched Bauman through his face mask. When one of Hayes' own players, offensive lineman Ken Fritz, tried to intervene, Hayes turned on him. Hayes had to be restrained by defensive coordinator George Hill. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Hayes Mar 06 10, 7:51 PM
