Since Mike Hart left after 2007, scUM has had just two running backs eclipse the 1000-yard mark for a season; Ohio State has had nine.

Trey Sermon had 868 yards rushing in just seven games in 2020 (he was injured on the first play in the eighth game, a 2-yard carry). Sermon would've been scUM's leading rusher in 10 of the past 13 seasons post-Hart.

Here's a comparison of Ohio State and scUM running backs since 2007:

Mike Hart was a 6th round pick in the 2008 draft; none of his successors, not a single one, has been drafted.

Ohio State, on the other hand, has had two 1st rounders (Elliott, Wells) and three 2nd rounders (Hyde, Dobbins, and Curtis Samuel, who had 771 yards rushing as a a freakin' H-back in 2016); Herron (6th round) and Weber (7th round) were also drafted.

Why would any top RB go to scUM? Damned if I know. Hell, Rod Smith (549 career rushing yards at Ohio State) has had a better NFL career than any of scUM's running backs, Mike Hart included. Winged helmets and barbecues, I guess....

Looking at YPC it’s impressive that the TUN kids seem to always have their best season as first year starters.

Then they get developed
