After Ohio State’s 77-10 win against Bowling Green, Buckeyes freshman running back Mike Weber made a bold statement.
Following his first-career start — in which he ran for 136 yards on 19 carries — Weber, somewhat tongue and cheek, smiled and answered a reporter’s question about both he and Curtis Samuel as a backfield duo.
“LenDale White and Reggie Bush,” he said with a huge grin. “I think we can be a really good 1-2 punch.”
Crazy things get said after a 67-point win, and Weber wasn’t necessarily implying he and Samuel were at the level of what is arguably the best running back duo in college football history.
