J.K. Dobbins announced as B1G Offensive Player of the Week

The Buckeyes put a beatdown on Michigan, and J.K. Dobbins put up a performance worthy of being dubbed the B1G Offensive Player of the Week.

The Buckeyes put a beatdown on Michigan, and J.K. Dobbins put up a performance worthy of being dubbed the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.

That performance resulted in the third-year running back ending with a career-high 211 yards and four touchdowns. This has been Dobbins fourth time as a B1G Offensive Player of the Week just this season alone.

Dobbins was an absolute game-changer, rushing for 6.8 yards per carry. With both Ohio State touchdowns in the second quarter, Dobbins had three scores in the first half alone.

He capped off the Buckeyes dominant, 29-point victory with the team’s last fourth-quarter touchdown as well.

The junior back is looking like the best in college football. He’s also one of the best in Ohio State history, moving into second all-time in rushing yards, passing Ezekiel Elliott.

Both three-year backs, Dobbins is arguably the dominant back to ever come through Columbus. That is not said lightly, and Dobbins’ performances do back up the claim.

Dobbins is continuing his bid as a first-round pick in the ever-nearing NFL Draft. He could top 2,000 all-purpose yards with 143 in the Big Ten Championship Game this Saturday.

Watch: J.K. Dobbins pounds it in, putting Ohio State up 7-0

The Ohio State Buckeyes, although they didn’t start off with the ball, were the first to put points on the board, up 7-0 after one drive.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, although they didn’t start off with the ball, were the first to put points on the board, up 7-0 after one drive.

It was all thanks to J.K. Dobbins. After being pinned with their own 20, Justin Fields completed two third-and-longs with his legs to allow Dobbins a chance to leave his mark on the game.

That was after a first play explosive run by Dobbins to get things out to close to midfield.

Dobbins and Fields totaled over 85 combined rushing yards on the Buckeyes opening drive, over 50 of which Dobbins was responsible for. He’s well on his way to making this game a blowout in the fourth quarter.

That said, here’s a video of Dobbins’ touchdown run to kick off the scoring.

If Dobbins is able to crack 100 yards, it’ll be his seventh 100-yard game. He could’ve easily had three digits in all ten had the Buckeyes not been so dominant in just about every outing this season.
