OSU quarterback Taylor Cornelius has received his share of criticism for his passing, but his rushing total has actually been one of the constants of the offense this year. He leads the team in rushing touchdowns and his feet provided one of the only sparks in the Cowboys’ 31-24 loss against TCU last week.
If you look at all the rushing totals from OSU quarterbacks in the past 50 years, Cornelius is tied for second in that period in single-season rushing touchdowns. The only player who’s higher than him is J.W. Walsh, who saw tremendous production as a package quarterback in the 2015-2016 season.
