Raekwon McMillan didn't play much against him, but former Michigan State running back Jeremy Langford is, in the linebacker's opinion, the standard at the position among players he's faced in college.
"I always compare running backs to Langford from last year. He was a hard runner, every part of his game was well-developed when I played against Michigan State," said Ohio State's sophomore middle linebacker Monday, who had four tackles in his team's win at Michigan State last November. "He’s a great running back just like anybody else, but anybody who plays on this level is."
McMillan was asked if he thought Indiana's Jordan Howard — the nation's leading rusher with 675 yards and the guy the Buckeyes take on Saturday — is on the same level as Langford, who's currently battling to be Matt Forte's backup with the Chicago Bears.
