Bowling Green Notebook: Mike Weber's Crazy Comparison, Malik Hooker's Ball Skills and the Impact of Tracy Sprinkle's Injury

Mike Weber flashed a large smile, fully aware of what he was about to say.

"LenDale White and Reggie Bush," Ohio State's starting running back responded when asked how effective the combination of him and Curtis Samuel could be together out of the backfield.

Wait, what?

Yes, Weber was talking about that combination of White and Bush — arguably the best running back tandem in recent college football history. Quite the statement from someone who just finished his first collegiate game.

Weber wasn't necessarily comparing himself and Samuel to White and Bush — that's not how I read it anyway — but it was more of what he hoped the Buckeyes' combination could one day be.
