Ohio State Buckeyes’ J.K. Dobbins, with an absolutely dominant first half against the Clemson Tigers, broke the university’s single-season rushing record. But wait, the first half isn’t even over yet.
Coming into the game with 1,829 yards on the season, Dobbins needed 98 to break Eddie George’s record of 1,927 — a total set back in 1995. He almost did that one play, rushing 68 yards for Ohio State’s first touchdown.
That said, Dobbins broke the record and has 144 yards early in the second. Dobbins would’ve had both the team’s first touchdowns has his second one not been called back.
However, Dobbins is still the reason the Buckeyes are in the lead. And, after calling 2018 a failure, Dobbins has been doing everything he can to lead the Buckeyes to dominant 2019 season.
That he’s done.
Congrats to @Jkdobbins22 on breaking the @OhioStateFB single season rushing record!! Now let’s get this win and the Natty!! #GoBucks

Expect more from Dobbins moving forward. Should Ohio State advance, and potentially even if they don’t, Dobbins may be able to become the university’s only 2,000-yard single-season rusher.
