When Ohio State goes through individual drills in practice, it’s common to see established veterans and incumbent starters taking the first reps for each position group. That made the order for drill work at running back during Wednesday’s first practice of preseason camp notable.
Miyan Williams, who led the running backs through drills during spring practices when Master Teague was sidelined by an injury, continued to lead the running back line even though the incumbent was back to participating fully in practice on Wednesday.
While it’s just one day of practice, and we should always be careful about reading too much into what we see from the first day of practice, it also wasn’t a huge surprise to see Williams at the front of the line despite Teague’s status as the most veteran and most experienced running back on the roster.
