RB Ira Guilford (Official Thread)

How bad was Ohio State's rushing attack in 2003 after MoC left?

Defensive back Ira Guilford had 28 carries for 64 yards (2.3 average). He was 4th in carries behind Lydell Ross (193); Craig Krenzel (109); and Maurice Hall (97).

2.3 yards per carry is pretty bad. But the entire team averaged only 3.3 yards per carry that year. No, that's not a typo: 3.3 yard per carry.

Against Iowa, the Buckeyes ran the ball 42 times for 56 yards (1.3 ypc). The Buckeyes won that game 19-10 thanks to a punt return TD, and blocked punt TD, a FG, and a safety.

Amazing that Ohio State went 11-2 that season with a BCS bowl victory.

they didn’t call Lydell Ross “ lay-down loss” for no reason
