Ohio State Football: 5 biggest overreactions from big win over TCU
4. JK Dobbins was the X-factor for the Buckeyes
Whenever Ohio State seemed to get into trouble from a quick TCU score or a sustainable drive acting head coach Ryan day handed the ball off to JK Dobbins.
Dobbins was very consistent running the ball all game and showed how his patience and skill set Can help take this offense to new heights.
Dobbins ran the ball 18 times for 121 yards. He didn’t have any explosive long runs but taking the fight to the defensive front helped Ohio State seize control of the tempo in key moments of the ball game.
Should Dobbins be considered a full-time starter? Mike Weber put up another sub par performance against the Horned Frogs and it’s simply a matter of not reading his blocks as good as he has done in previous games.
Outside of a long 17-yard carry, Weber averaged just 2.7 yards per attempt on the ground. If he has another bad performance against Tulane Dobbins should take over as the starting running back for the rest of the season.
