Was going to award this to the Dline but without JK, I don't think the offense gets moving at at all.

More than likely it's just the different level of athletes. But as we've seen from Weber this year. Long speed cab worked on. I'm not even sure his long speed is the issue and not the stamina to keep it up for 50+ yards.

Agreed I thought he just got tired on a couple of those runs.

He's just so short... it's hard for kids his size to out run people who may have a longer stride.

It's why he's so unstoppable within 20-30 yards.

He's about the size of most RBs in college and NFL, 5'9-5'10 210+lbs, that's BS that he couldn't outrun people due to leg strides. I think he may have gotten winded at the end, but JK has burners. He's about the same size as Lesean McCoy, Deangelo Williams, Mark Ingram, Frank Gore, MJD, etc. JK is set to be a Buckeye great. And speaking of Buckeye greats, JK is the same height as Archie Griffin(he was alright )

Surprised to learn Lesean McCoy and Mark Ingram are about the same size!???

Dobbins ran a 10.51 100 meters as a junior. That is big time fast.

Both 5'9 210ish. About the same size as JK

Exhibit A of why you never take the program listings seriously.

Yeah, it's funny how when guys get to the combine you see their true size, and it's so shocking, lol

Ingram was 17 lbs bigger than McCoy at the combine and has bulked up since.

Not according to NFL or ESPN.com. but neither are very big and under 6ft and under 220

Just an anecdote from the 70’s ..we opened the season against Minnesota and all the buzz was around Rick Upchurch he was Percy HArvin ..return kicks and run and catch. Archie returned the opening kickoff and UPchurch did squat.. Gophers git hammere.

He's got to be the 2017 B1G Freshman of the year. Last Buckeye was JT, I believe? When is that announced and who are his competitors?

As much as I love JK and I do think he should get the nod but I bet Taylor from Wisconsin gets it. Over 1800 yards (albeit on many more carries and against worse competition) will somehow win it for him.

Jonathan Taylor of Wisconsin won it already.

1847 yards, 13 TDs vs 1364 yards, 7 TDs
