1. Dobbins and Webber run free

With JT Barrett graduating as one of the most prolific quarterbacks in Big Ten history there are a lot of question marks surrounding the position for the Buckeyes.

I think whoever winds up behind center will have an easy time moving the ball down the field with Dobbins and Weber lined up behind them. When healthy either back can be in All-Big Ten and potentially an All-American candidate. With the Weber back healthy I wouldn’t be surprised if the Buckeyes had two 1,000-yard rushers this year.

Dobbins showed last season that he can be relied on in clutch situations and should be one of the most exciting backs in the Big 10 this season. This one-two punch will be scary for opposing defensive lines all year-long.

This game will get the offense started on the right foot and both backs should be able to find running room against the Beavers front seven. If they can get the ground game going early they could both potentially have multi-touchdown games.
