James Peoples wasn’t too surprised his first season at Ohio State ended with his teammates hoisting a national championship trophy.
“I mean, that’s kind of the standard, right?” Peoples said two days before the Buckeyes bested Notre Dame 34-23.
In his freshman year with the Buckeyes, Peoples was the third-string running back for the Buckeyes, sitting behind a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson. He appeared in eight games for the Buckeyes, mostly in lopsided contests.
“The thing I learned the most was patience and being a pro in everything I do,” Peoples told Eleven Warriors during Ohio State’s CFP media day.
