Kid has proven that he's taken the torch from Beenie as the next great Osu RB. As much as I'd love to say this team is all about Braxton, Carlos is the straw that stirs the drink for this team. Idk if we'd be undefeated without Carlos' efforts. It's a pleasure to watch him run over and around defenders.

I like seeing that Hyde getting credit for his blocking. Also, because he runs with the gracefulness of a caveman that just stole a football, I don't think he gets all the props he should. I would love to see him in a Browns uniform next year.

Hyde currently has 590 yards rushing for the year. That's 73.8 yards per game, if you count the first three as 0's (as in, he's played 8 games this year), or 118.0 per game if you count his season as only being 5 games, so far (as we should).

To get to 1000 yards for the 12-game regular season, he needs 102.5 yards per game for the remaining games.
To get to 1000 yards for the 13-game season (bowl game or conference championship), he needs 82.0 yards per game.
To get to 1000 yards for the 14-game season (bowl game and conference championship), he needs 68.3 yards per game.

He's averaging 6.7 yards per carry and 17.6 carries per game (for his 5 games this season).

If he keeps up the 6.7 yards per carry, he needs 15.3 carries per game to get to 1000 at the end of 12 games, 12.2 carries per game to get to 1000 at the end of 13 games, or 10.2 carries per game to get to 1000 at the end of 14 games.

If he keeps up the 17.6 carries per game, he needs to average 5.82 yards per carry for 12 games, 4.66 yards per carry for 13 games, or 3.88 yards per carry for 14 games.

I'm thinking my prediction of Hyde getting to 1000 in the B1G championship was off. :banger:

As a Browns fan, I'm ok with this. conversely, as a Browns fan and someone who would like to see Carlos have a healthy and productive career, I hope that someone else drafts him.

Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde having a memorable season, but where does he fit in the conversation with Buckeye greats?

By Ari Wasserman, Northeast Ohio Media Group
October 31, 2013
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Spectacular highlight reel-worthy runs, more touchdowns than he can count on his fingers and no rushing attempts that amounted into negative yardage.

And be sure to add in the one thing Ohio State’s offensive coaching staff would take over all of that – consistency.

Carlos Hyde has already proven to have it all, and because of it he has solidified himself as one of the premier running backs in the country on a team that is fighting each week to position itself to play for a national championship.

This is college football at the biggest stage, and Hyde is running across it.

But where does Hyde belong in the conversation with the greatest Ohio State running backs? Two of the best in the history of the game, who between them claim three Heisman Trophies, say they want to see more.

“At the end of this season we could take about it more to see where his numbers come out,” said former Buckeyes running back Archie Griffin, college football’s only two-time Heisman Trophy winner. “I feel like he probably hasn’t had the carries to be along with the ones you consider really, really great ones.”

“Right now we can’t make that distinction,” said Eddie George, who through his dominance as an Ohio State runner added another Heisman to the glass trophy case in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. “He is having a great three-week run, but he has to do it over the course of an entire season to really make that distinction. I think by season’s end, we’ll know more about it.”

College football: Former Naples High star Carlos Hyde having super senior year again

COLUMBUS, Ohio — COLUMBUS, Ohio — It feels to Carlos Hyde as if he’s been here before.

His junior year back at Naples High School, he rushed for 970 yards — just like he did a year ago as a junior for Ohio State.

“In my senior year I just came out on another level,” he said of topping the mile mark with 1,653 yards rushing. “I kind of feel it’s all happening again.”

To be clear, Hyde won’t reach that figure again. After all, he was suspended for the first three games. But he could very well hit 1,000 yards to become the first running back in Urban Meyer’s 12 years as a head coach to top the 1K mark.

He’s certainly making up for lost time.

Since breaking in with 41 yards in the final regular-season game with FCS member Florida A&M, the 6-foot, 230-pound battering ram with speed has gone for 85 yards against Wisconsin, 168 yards and three TDs at Northwestern, 149 yards and two scores against Iowa and 147 yards and two touchdowns against Penn State.

He’s averaging 118 yards a game, which would be good enough to get him over the 1,000-yard mark if the Buckeyes, as expected, expand their schedule by making it to the Big Ten championship and also playing in a major bowl.

Despite all the talk about his cutting-edge spread offense, more than anything Meyer loves jamming a football down a defense’s throat. With a big, burly line and a big, burly tailback, that’s been almost a given this season.

“Having Carlos Hyde back there really makes a difference,” offensive guard Andrew Norwell said. “We’re just mauling people.”

Hyde credits his suspension, surprisingly, for helping turn him around. He was linked to an alleged altercation with a female at a Columbus bar last summer. No charges were filed, but Meyer still sat him down for three games.

Meyer was down on Hyde. Now he’s up on him.

“Every Thursday is called player-development day and we go through every player on the team,” he said. “Our strength coach and academic people and our training staff rate them for me. (Carlos) has been very high on each one’s list, which usually means a fairly mature guy. I like where he’s at.”

At this point in the 2013 season, he's averaging 6.7 yards per carry.

In comparison:
In 1974, Archie Griffin averaged 6.6 yards per carry, en route to winning the Heisman.
In 1975, Archie Griffin averaged 5.5 yards per carry, en route to winning the Heisman.
In 1995, Eddie George averaged 5.9 yards per carry, en route to winning the Heisman.

According to this site: http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/graphics/pdf/m-footbl/1112_guide_8records1.pdf no one since 1950 has led the team in rushing yards and averaged more than 6.7 yards per carry. (The site only lists who led the team in rushing yards each year, so there may have been another player who averaged more yards, but had fewer total rushing yards.) You have to go back to 1998 (Michael Wiley, 6.2 ypc) to find someone who averaged over 6 yards per carry. Robert Smith averaged 6.4 in 1990. Calvin Murray averaged 6.54 in 1980. Griffin had 2 years of 6+ ypc. Bob Fergusen had 6.1 ypc in 1959. And in 1950, Walt Klevay (I've never heard of him) averaged 7.9 yards per carry.

Mostly just an FYI that I thought was interesting.
