Despite Bynum’s catch, OSU and U of O played to a 0-0 tie in what some dubbed the “Toilet Bowl.” The game included eleven turnovers – five by the Beavers and six by the Ducks. The game was the first 0-0 tie between the teams since 1931, and the sixth in the history of the series. Despite OSU’s lack of gridiron success as a team, Bynum led the nation in receiving yards per reception in 1983 at 24.2 yards. He was a ninth-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in the 1986 NFL draft.
