Summary

In our first postgame Buckeye Talk Podcast, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises come up with the best running back scenario for Ohio State after the big debut by freshman J.K. Dobbins in a 49-21 win over Indiana. But no everything was ideal for Ohio State. Why didn't they throw more deep passes? Urban Meyer wasn't happy with the cornerbacks. And Ohio State seemed to have a hard time figuring out how to use J.T. Barrett as a runner. They got a win, but have questions to answer before hosting Oklahoma next week.

right to it. We're not going to go as long as we usually do but we want to

0:21.1

break down this game and get this out to you guys as

0:23.3

fast as possible. Bill Landis who would you start at running back against Oklahoma

0:27.7

next week? J.K. Dobbins or Mike Weber. Oh boy I mean Dobbins, he's, I do think Mike Weber is good.

0:35.8

I remember Meyer said after the game, he's a heck of a back and like was a little, I thought, like

0:39.6

the fine and that like Mike's gonna play and I think that's true.

0:42.1

JK Dobbins brings a different thing to this running game. that like Mike's gonna play and I think that's true.

0:42.8

J.K. Doblins brings a different thing to this running game man.

0:45.2

He has the home run speed.

Urban Meyer was like mad that his longest run was 35 yards because he knows there's more

Kevin Wilson about this jump cut that he seems to have and he said that's a pretty dynamic move

he just brings a lot to the table pass catching he called a wheel route I thought he looked

1:02.1

really good at that had a good block. I think he is just a more well-rounded running back than Mike Weber who got hurt at a bad time. He injured his hamstring at the wrong time when J.K. Dobens came in here and he's not going to lose his job totally. He's still going to play but I feel like Dobbins is the man now.

1:17.0

JK Dobbins 29 carries 181 yards and here's what I think. 29 carries is too many for a true freshman who
