Freshman running back JK Dobbins has been ballin’ all season. I’ve written about him twice, first time was his season debut and second was stating he should start over Mike Weber. So far, I have been looking like a smart man, Dobbins had another good game against Nebraska. He started the scoring barrage with a 52-yard rushing touchdown that showed his strength with a mean stiff-arm of a defender along the sideline.

Dobbins’ stat line read 12 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown. He broke the century mark on only 12 carries — not bad for a freshman.

His counterpart, Mike Weber, had 82 yards on 18 carries, but he didn’t ball out like the freshman on Saturday. He is a super exciting running back, this is the first game ball I’ve given him, but honestly if I was the one that was giving out stickers for Ohio State every week he would have one for every game that I’ve watched.

It’s hard to believe Dobbins is a true freshman and it looks like #BuckeyeNation has a special talent in the backfield right now.
