Ohio State Football: 3 takeaways from blowout victory over Rutgers
By Jesse Smith
2. Mike Weber resurfaces
With the emergence of J.K. Dobbins, running back Mike Weber has kind of been the forgotten man for Ohio State fans. Dobbins has been balling now way to sugarcoat it at all, but it is a good problem to have because Weber has been battling a hamstring injury.
The redshirt sophomore didn’t play last week so many didn’t know what to expect of the former 1,000 yard rusher this week.
Weber jumped back on the scene with three touchdowns. He had 10 carries for 44 yards and scores from one, three and two yards out. This is the first game of the season that Weber has beaten Dobbins in carries 10-to-6, but Dobbins won in rushing yards 53-to-44.
The good thing for the Buckeyes is Weber seems to be healing and will turn the backfield into a two headed monster, you can say three headed monster if you add the rushing skills of Barrett.
Will Weber be able to build off of this strong outing?
