The closing weeks of the season are when coaches want their players to play at their best. And that has certainly been the case for Ohio State running back Trey Sermon.
After transferring from Oklahoma this season, Sermon was not supposed to be a focal point in the Buckeyes offense. Although he was eyed as a contributor no one imagined he would turn into one of the most dangerous ball carriers in the country, down the stretch of the season.
His tear began against Michigan State back on Dec. 5 when he rushed the ball 10 times for 112 yards and a touchdown against the rival Spartans.
