J.K. Dobbins only cracked 20 carries in three games during Ohio State’s 2018 season, and his career-high 37-carry game only happened because of an injury to Mike Weber.
Otherwise, Dobbins and Weber went back-and-forth, often swapping every other series. Neither running back ever publicly complained about the situation, but after Dobbins racked up 37 carries in his team’s win against Maryland, he admitted that allowed him to get into a groove. With Weber now on the Dallas Cowboys, Dobbins won’t have to worry about an equal split with anybody.
“He's the back now,” Ryan Day said this spring.
