Five bold predictions for Ohio State against Akron

After some pretty big news, we had to change up our five bold predictions for the Akron game.

Master Teague will rack up over 100 yards rushing

This wouldn’t be that bold of a prediction before the season, but now that we’ve seen the pecking order of things, Teague feels like a running back that’s a little lost in the shuffle. But that will change this week.

TreVeyon Henderson will still get plenty of opportunities, and so will Miyan Williams if he is full-go, but look for the coaching staff to re-establish Teague in the running game with his physical, straight-line speed. The coaching staff needs to keep all three running backs engaged, so look for them to throw a bone to Teague in this one to keep him happy. He won’t disappoint.
