Mike Weber is finally getting healthier which means he’s going to get more carries. On Saturday, it resulted in him getting into the endzone three times.

Weber only had 10 rushes in the game, which was plenty. There was no need to overwork him in a blowout game, especially considering the status of his health.

The Mike Weber factor could lead to a thunder and lightning type rushing attack for Ohio State. Fellow running back J.K. Dobbins and Weber are good enough by themselves, but together form a dynamic duo.

This will be interesting to watch moving forward, but this week it worked out perfectly. The addition of Mike Weber into the gameplan will be fun to watch moving forward.

The three touchdowns by Weber this past week are his first three of the season. Even if it’s against Rutgers, three touchdowns on ten attempts will earn a running back a game ball.
