As Tom Orr pointed out this week, the team that runs the ball better in this game is the team that generally wins, and when it comes down to where I see the Ohio State offense’s best chances at success in this game, it is their running game. The Buckeyes have the best running game in the Big Ten — averaging 252.6 yards per game…
Ohio State ran for 335 yards against Michigan State on Saturday. That was about 248 yards more than the Spartans had given up on average this season. The Buckeyes hit home runs, hit doubles, triples, and singles. They basically hit for the cycle against MSU, averaging 8 yards per carry. They made it look easy, but it wasn’t.
Ohio State sophomore running back Mike Weber is the Big Ten Conference’s co-offensive player of the week for his efforts in Ohio State’s 48-3 victory over No. 12 Michigan State Saturday in Ohio Stadium. Weber, from Detroit and Cass Tech, set a personal best with 162 yards rushing on only nine carries – an 18.0 yards per carry average…
Saturday was Mark Dantonio’s 142nd game as the head coach at Michigan State. It was not a notable number for Dantonio, but the Buckeyes decided to honor him anyway by rushing for more yards than any other team has in his nearly 11 years at Michigan State. Ohio State ran the ball 42 times for 335 yards, setting a record against…
After being taught a lesson by Iowa last week, No. 13 Ohio State studied its notes, prepared and then administered a similar beatdown to 12th-ranked Michigan State in Ohio Stadium Saturday. It wasn’t even midway through the second quarter when the Buckeyes had more than 300 total yards and 35 points on the board.
When talking about running back tandems, the term “Thunder and Lightning” is the standard cliche always thrown about. A big bruiser complemented by a speedy counterpart. Together, their wonder twin powers combine to form one pretty good running back. At Ohio State, something similar — but different — is brewing on the horizon.
Name an offense that can lose its top playmaker and not look worse off because of it. Ohio State has yet to play this season with a healthy Mike Weber, and just because J.K. Dobbins is No. 11 nationally in rushing doesn’t mean the Buckeyes aren’t missing what Weber could have provided. Through winter conditioning, spring camp…
Urban Meyer, Kevin Wilson, Greg Schiano, and several Buckeye players spoke with the media following Ohio State’s disappointing 31-16 loss at home to the Oklahoma Sooners. Here are the “highlights”.
