It has been said that history repeats itself. This is definitely the case when it comes to having great running backs at Ohio State. The Buckeyes haven’t had a shortage of good running backs as long as I’ve been alive.
Just this past decade alone, the stable of impressive running backs Ohio State has produced has been as good as any program in college football. From Antonio Pittman, to Chris “Beanie” Wells, to Carlos Hyde, and most recently Ezekiel Elliott, the school has set the standard at the position, as each of these backs were first-team All-Big Ten selections.
