J.K. Dobbins will go over 1,500 yards on the ground
What we wrote:
We all saw what Dobbins could do his freshman season. He may not be the fastest kid in a straight-line scenario, but he’s quick, can change directions on a dime, and has great vision.
He was the No. 1 guy two years ago because of injuries to Mike Weber, and all he did was set the single-season OSU record for rushing yards as a freshman with over 1,400 yards. He’s once again expected to be the main cog in the backfield, and it’ll translate to a season even better than what we saw in 2017. Especially with the threat from Fields as a runner and the talented receivers that will keep defenses honest.
Look for Dobbins to at least top 1,500 yards on the ground and allow Ohio State to be a multi-dimensional team.

Check again. In fact, we undershot this one just a bit. Dobbins polished off arguably the greatest single season by an Ohio State running back ever. He eclipsed 2,000 yards and broke the record for the most rushing yards in a season in Columbus. Better than Eddie George, better than Ezekiel Elliott, better than anyone. At Ohio State nonetheless.
