Despite Injury Setback, Ohio State Running Back Mike Weber Thriving in Fall Camp

Mike Weber's a serious soul. Football, and more importantly, his impact at running back is life. He's his own person, a reason he isn't the always fond of getting compared to other great backs in Ohio State history.

"On the team, everybody calls me 'Baby 'Los,' Carlos Hyde," Weber said Sunday at Ohio State media day, before cracking a massive smile for the first time since beginning to speak with reporters a few minutes earlier. "I guess at running back that's my running style. Zeke is more elusive."

Ezekiel Elliott is who the Buckeyes leaned on during their historic three-game stretch to dominate Wisconsin, top Alabama and beat down Oregon in the postseason to eventually win the first-ever College Football Playoff.
