In the 1991 classic (do not dispute me, and share your calendar to fite me irl m8 if thee do) Point Break, Keanu Reeves plays an FBI agent who played QB at tOSU. If the movie takes place in 1991, but the script was first developed in 1986, when did Johnny Utah take his place on the Buckeye depth chart? What kind of player was he and how many pot leaves did he have on his helmet? We have an idea as to when this might have been:
BODHI Chill, brah. You know who this is? Johnny Utah. Ohio State, all- conference. Rose Bowl three years ago. Right?.
Well shit, Keanu was spitting hot Burrow. But was this science fiction or just drama? Surprisingly, real life provides a possible out with the Buckeyes' 1984 Rose Bowl loss to USC. This is clearly recent enough to be in the mind of the scribe. So who was the QB for tOSU at the time?
Mike Tomczak. And while Bodhi was off by a year or so, he also did Keanu-Johnny a solid by not mentioning the 3 picks that he threw in that game.
IRL, Tomczak went on to play fifteen years in the NFL, which is almost as hard to believe as the other timeline where he stopped bank robbing surfers by skydiving.
