ZANESVILLE - One of Ohio State University's Heisman Trophy winners made his way to Zanesville earlier this year, in the form of two-time winner Archie Griffin, who helped celebrate the expanded Kroger store.

Now, it's Troy Smith's turn to bring out the local fans and help promote an expanded car dealership along the way.

Star quarterback Troy Smith and two other members of the Buckeyes' Big Ten Champion and NCAA runner-up football squad will hold court this evening from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Jeff Drennen Dealerships on Maple Avenue near the Colony Square Mall.

Troy Smith will be joined by linebacker and Lancaster native Bobby Carpenter and lineman Doug Datish, all key cogs in the Buckeyes' near-perfect season.

Autographs will be limited to the first 200 people.
