Watch: Interviews with the Buckeyes Who Put NFL on Hold
Thanks to some “bonus coverage” from the Ohio State sports information department, the media was able to speak with a number of Buckeyes who chose to return to OSU rather than enter the NFL Draft. We also spoke to running back J.K. Dobbins and safety Jordan Fuller. Some of what everyone had to say can be seen in the videos below.
Sharing is Caring for Buckeye Running Backs
When running back Mike Weber announced that he was coming back to Ohio State for one more year, he committed once again to sharing carries with J.K. Dobbins. As the starter and primary ball carrier in 2016, Weber shared totes with J.T. Barrett and Curtis Samuel. Yes, Barrett had more carries than Weber — 205 to 182, but many…
Mike Weber’s Return is the Right Move for a Number of Reasons
It’s not officially official yet, but in today’s day and age, a single tweet from Mike Weber of “One more year” on Saturday is about as official as it gets that the redshirt sophomore running back will return for a fourth season with the Buckeyes in 2018.

After the Indiana game when J.K. Dobbins burst onto the national scene, the consensus among Ohio State fans was that they wanted to see a heavy dose of Mike Weber and Dobbins in the same backfield. We saw a small glimpse of what could be against Nebraska when K.J. Hill aligned with Dobbins, but never did we see the formation…
Which Buckeye Underclassmen Are Most Likely To Turn Pro?
Every fall, Urban Meyer and his assistant coaches sit with high school football players and their families and explain the benefits of playing their college ball at Ohio State. The chance to be a part of the greatest rivalry in sports and play for championships is part of it. They sell the value of an OSU degree, the “Real Life Wednesdays” program…
Ohio State Football Notebook: ‘I hurt it pretty bad in the Nebraska game’
Urban Meyer is now 6-0 against Michigan, but only 2-2 in the game following The Game. The Buckeyes got wins in 2014 against Alabama and 2015 against Notre Dame, but fell to Clemson in both 2013 and 2016. There are times — such as 2006 — when the emotions expended in the Michigan game is impossible to recapture.
