Ohio State Football: Predicting OSU leading rusher in 2020

The Ohio State football team and head coach Ryan Day has a crisis on its hands in terms of the running back position for next season. Austin Ward of Lettermen Row confirmed that Master Teague tore his Achilles during spring football practices.

And with the likely No. 2 running back in Marcus Crowley still recovering from his undisclosed knee injury from last November, this is shaping up to be a tough spot for Ryan Day and running backs coach Tony Alford to have to figure out.

According to patient.info, an Achilles tear can take anywhere from four-months to 12 months to fully recover and get back to playing a sport.
