Dobbins Retakes Central Role In Buckeye Attack
For three straight games entering the showdown in Lincoln, Ohio State’s offense hung more than 50 points on the scoreboard, and did it without much involvement from its emerging star of a freshman running back.
J.K. Dobbins failed to reach 100 yards rushing against UNLV, Rutgers or Maryland, and didn’t have a reception in any of those games either. Both of those streaks ended early against Nebraska.
Dobbins had an 11-yard catch on the Buckeyes’ opening drive, and then moved himself more than halfway to 100 yards rushing on a single play.
Dobbins took a handoff from J.T. Barrett, zipped through a hole opened by LT Jamarco Jones and then saw open field in front of him. He turned on the jets to outrun Nebraska defenders for a 52-yard touchdown to open the scoring. After the game, Dobbins said when he turns the corner and sees an empty field in front of him, he has only one goal.
“I’ve gotta score. Whenever I see the green, I’ve gotta score,” said Dobbins.
On TV and from the press box, it certainly looked like a Nebraska defender had an angle to stop Dobbins for about a 15-yard gain, but the Buckeye beat him to the sideline and then had nothing but open field to the end zone.
“I saw him the whole time and I knew I was going to have to beat him” said Dobbins. “He was the last person to beat, so I beat him.”

The gap between he and Weber seems pretty wide at this point. I would assume the split duties will go by the wayside against better opponents.

Stronger runner? Is that before or after he's tripped up by the first defender every time?
Weber is a much stronger blocker...other than that it's Dobbins for the win.....

And all kidding aside--by what metric is Weber a "stronger runner"? It certainly isn't yac.

My eyes work.
Plus he's bigger then JK. He's our short yard and red zone guy. Listen to UFMs pressers and he says the same thing.
Look JK has Weber with speed and agility. However have we seen JK bull over someone the answer is no.
Stronger blocker but not a stronger runner? Makes ZERO sense

I would agree that Weber is more of a power back. He can move a pile whereas JK is more shifty and slides past defenders.

Really? Because he broke nearly 4 tackles on his first carry against Nebraska

JK is already the better running back between the two but I at this point Weber is just a stronger runner. He should be though because he's had more time here at tosu in the strength program.
Side note JK has averaging a good yard per carry better then the best running back to ever play the game in Saquon Barkley (mocking the media).

I'd give the nod to JK in every aspect at the moment because Weber doesn't look like he's healthy out there runnin the football! Until he gets fully healthy I give the nod to Dobbins for a larger role in the offense because the offense looks a lot more explosive with him out there. Not to mention his pass catching ability has been really great as he's got vertical down the field to make a few receptions this year.
