How Ohio State’s Rushing Attack Finally Broke Through Against Cincinnati

Last season, Ohio State’s current starting running back J.K. Dobbins failed to eclipse the 100-yard rushing mark and score a touchdown in the same game until the start of November. Locked in a timeshare with Mike Weber and stuck behind an offensive line that often couldn’t get out of its own way, Dobbins’ sophomore slump forced the Buckeyes to rely on their passing game perhaps more than they ever have in recent memory. The results manifested themselves in unsightly fashion throughout all of last season, with the most egregious of these offenses coming in their abhorrent loss to Purdue.
