J.K. Dobbins Leads Backfield As Bellcow Running Back Without A Clear Backup
2019 Season Preview OSU Football Email this Article Share on Reddit Share on Twitter Share on Facebook 23Season Preview BannerEver since Mike Weber missed the 2017 season opener with an injury, leading to J.K. Dobbins starting his first-ever college game and rushing for 189 yards, Ohio State essentially housed a backfield with two starters.
It had Dobbins, and it had Weber. Two worthy options.
Neither running back was the full-time starter, leading to Tony Alford splitting their carries. Last year, they combined for more than 2,000 rushing yards with Dobbins accumulating 1,053 yards – crossing the 1,000-yard mark for the second year in a row – and Weber racking up 954 yards on the ground.
