Photo Gallery: Senior Day 2006

With the Michigan game traditionally being the last home game every other season, Troy Smith and 17 other seniors were introduced as Ohio State Buckeyes for the very last time in what was the greatest game, with the most riding on it, to ever be played at the venerable Ohio Stadium.
