Carlos Hyde spent the first three weeks of Ohio State's season in a dark place, so now he's working on shaping a bright future
By Zack Meisel, Northeast Ohio Media Group

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Carlos Hyde spent the first two Saturdays of the season in the dimly lit theater room of his apartment complex.

Movie posters line the black walls. Eight black leather chairs and a black leather couch, all fixated atop a dark gray floor, sit before a large white projector screen, on which Hyde watched his teammates play.

Hyde lived in a dark world during his three-game suspension at the start of the 2013 campaign. When he wasn't working with the scout team at practice or taking notes in class, he stayed home and waited for the three, humbling weeks to pass.

"I didn't really talk to anybody," Hyde told Cleveland.com. "I just stayed in the house and stayed in contact with my family and tried to wait until everything blew over."

The pent-up anguish and torment spilled out of his eyes and rolled down his cheeks during a postgame meeting with reporters following his three-touchdown effort against Northwestern two weeks ago.

"It was like a relief off my shoulders," Hyde said.

Carlos Hyde benefits from scout work
October, 18, 2013

By Austin Ward | ESPN.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The normal, gaping holes were nowhere to be found.

Across the line of scrimmage, a group of guys who might never see the field had been replaced by a defensive unit that has proven to be one of the best at stuffing the rush in the nation.

And instead of executing out of the Ohio State playbook, the job during the week was instead to provide a look at what the opponents did on the ground instead of doing what had become so familiar for nearly two years.

But rather than drop his head or mail in the effort while serving his three-game suspension last month on the scout team, Carlos Hyde instead tried to turn that rare look at how the other half of the roster lives into a benefit for his own game. Based on the early returns since his punishment ended, the senior might have come out of it even more deadly on the ground than before.

I can still see Carlos Hyde breaking 1,000 rushing yards this season if he gets his usual carries, despite missing the first three games.

Definitely. By my count, he has 294 yards in 3 games. That's 98.0 yards per game. Obviously 794 yards away from 1,000. With 6 games remaining, he needs to get 117.7 per game - almost 20 yards per game higher than his average. He'll either need to rush for 7.4 yards per carry, and maintain his 16 rushes per game average, or maintain his 6.1 yards per carry and get his rushes per game up to about 19.

However, when I remember that conference championship games and bowl games are included, he only needs 88.3 yards per game. At 98.0 per game (and 16 rushes at 6.1 per carry) he'll exceed 1,000 yards by about 80 yards.

Don't forget he only got 5 carries against FAMU so most of his yards have come against 2 of the best teams in the B1G. As long as he gets the carries and stays healthy I don't see 1,000 being a problem. My guess is he'll get it before the bowl game.

794 + 294 = 1000?
