Ohio State had a distinct strategy when it came to its running game against Notre Dame on Saturday: spread the wealth.

Second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson — who was expected to carry the load for the Buckeyes this season — and third-year back Miyan Williams carried the rock 15 and 14 times, respectively. Head coach Ryan Day was pleased with the results of the running game and said Ohio State intends to continue to utilize the skillsets of both running backs as the season continues.

“We’ll move forward the same way,” Day said on Tuesday. “I thought they really complemented each other well. They both really ran hard in the fourth quarter, after looking at the film. I felt it when we were on the field, but after watching the film, boy, it was pretty impressive to watch those guys run that way. And they took care of the football, and that was a huge challenge for them, it’s their No. 1 job in this offense.”

I tried looking a bit but still couldn’t find anything; I know Wypler sounds day to day but did Matt Jones get hurt too? I can’t find anything specific.

He just got interviewed yesterday. Sounds like he was suffering from a flu bug a day before and during the game. That's why he came out for a few snaps.


I hope this was something all of his teammates already had

and that he was very contagious

Hopefully JSN and Fleming are back this week but regardless it's great that Harrison and Egbuka are getting crucial reps with CJ.

Getting JSN back though can be overstated enough. We are talking about the best WR in college ball and probably our best offensive player outside of CJ. He changes everything including how teams play our run game.

Yeah, you could argue he's an extension of the run game as well.

Could we PLEASE stop running Chop long east-west? That’s not his game and it’s not going to get better. He’s brilliant north-south and needs calls that get his shoulders turned soon, not at/near the sidelines.
Not only that even though he made a great adjustment and catch. I'd argue Henderson probably should have been running the whell vs ND as well. Henderson probably burns the guy over the top for a huge gain

I get that there needs to be some misdirection so as to not telegraph, but, yeah, I totally agree. Use the right tool for the job. Just because you can pound a nail with the flat side of an adjustable wrench doesn't mean ignoring the hammer.

Henderson did run the wheel route against ND and was wide open or would have been thrown wide open but CJ went to the other side of the field. It's at least a staple in our Offense because they keep looking at it as an option

Henderson with only 25 carries in two games. I saw him slightly limping a couple of times and wonder if his knee is bothering him a bit.
6.1 ypc
8.7 ypc
Ave: 7.4 ypc

Hoping that JSN and Fleming are healthy enough to play against Toledo. But Harrison and Egbuka are starting to shine so all is good. The Offense is progressing nicely.
