Ohio State had only two scholarship running backs at practice three days before the Peach Bowl.
With TreVeyon Henderson and Evan Pryor already sidelined by season-ending injuries, Miyan Williams was also not seen during the 15-minute viewing window allowed to reporters at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during Wednesday’s practice. That came one day after he was scratched from his scheduled interview session Tuesday, which Chip Trayanum said was because Williams was “under the weather.”
In Williams’ absence, freshman Dallan Hayden led Ohio State’s running back line during individual drills with Trayanum behind him. The only other running backs on the field Wednesday were walk-ons Cayden Saunders and Chase Brecht.
