The spotlight was on Ohio State’s running backs and defensive tackles during this week’s Wednesday media interviews at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Running backs Bo Jackson, Isaiah West and James Peoples all met with the media on Wednesday, as did defensive tackles Eddrick Houston and Will Smith Jr.
Jackson and West talked about their breakout freshman seasons and how they believe they complement each other, while Peoples talked about how he’s adjusted to being in a four-man running back rotation with Jackson, West and CJ Donaldson. Houston talked about how the extra work he’s put in after practice has helped him improve over the course of the season, while Smith talked about how his confidence has grown this year as he and the rest of Ohio State’s defensive tackles used the preseason narratives about their position group as motivation.
