Go and get it, young man. Pencil me in under the "not worried" list. The same list I was on when Barrett was named a starter two years ago after Braxton got hurt.

MIKE WEBER ENDURED RAPID MATURATION PROCESS TO PREPARE FOR STARTING RUNNING BACK JOB AT OHIO STATE
Urban Meyer wasn't shy about it. With such a young, wide-eyed Ohio State squad staring at him in the face as he readies for fall camp he did not hold back when asked how far redshirt freshman running back needed to mature in order to even have a prayer at replicating what Ezekiel Elliott did the last two years at running back for the Buckeyes.
"A lot and a lot," Meyer said Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days. "I saw his little post, his before picture and after picture. A little fat kid that turned into a good looking running back.
"You can tell him I said that too."
You can bet Weber already knows. With the dismissal of fifth-year senior Bri'onte Dunn for a violation of team rules, the spotlight now shines solely on Weber to start in place of the 2015 Silver Football winner. He needed to mature in order to earn his spot.
As much as Meyer wants to say Curtis Samuel and Dontre Wilson will help in the running game this fall (they will), the bulk of the backfield action will include Weber and J.T. Barrett. The latter is, to use Meyer's term, "exceptional" at running the read option — a piece critical to Ohio State's offensive plan.
Barrett will do it this fall with Weber, however, instead of the guy in line to start for the Dallas Cowboys.
"He's an explosive back that we have," Barrett said. "He cares a lot about his teammates I feel like. We'll just keep on pushing him every day."

Mike Weber's role at Ohio State in 2016: Why it didn't change with the Bri'onte Dunn dismissal
It did nothing to change what Ohio State is expecting from Weber.
"With a guy like Mike, who's such a critical guy, I'm very close with him," Meyer said. "That's a Cadillac position in sports, one of them, is to be the starting tailback at Ohio State. And my name's going to be on that, so I do spend a lot of time with him."

You kids stay off my lawn!
Here's my dream: November, 2016, Weber cruises for 325 yards in 31 carries, shattering the record of Biatchmafucka and crushing the CFP hopes of the Wolverines while sending the Buckeyes on to the CCG and CFP. November, 2017, Weber sets Michigan Stadium rushing record with 350 yards in the buckeyes sixth straight win over the weasels. Harbaugh resigns and takes a job with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

If it's a dream then I'd just change their '16 hopes being crushed by Hawaii and the other 10 losses they have heading into The Game.
Then after the winless '17 season harbaugh resigns and the university announces it is quitting the sport.
Once they bulldoze the stadium in and apply enough salt to the earth then I'm happy.

Buckeyes Needed a More Mature Mike Weber and They Got It
"A lot and a lot."
That was Urban Meyer's answer when asked how much redshirt freshman running back Mike Weber has matured, and how much heneeded to mature.
A year ago at this time Weber was a true freshman watching and learning from Ezekiel Elliott. While that makes for a good example to follow, it doesn't exactly make for a lot of carries. A knee injury in camp then basically ended Weber's season before it ever got started. He could have played if they would have needed him later in the season, but they didn't.
Not being needed is never easy to handle, and it certainly doesn't lend itself to personal growth. As such, Weber had some growing up to do over the last year, and the Buckeye coaches focused on making that happen.
"It’s more 'Power of the Unit', and that’s Tony Alford and Mickey Marotti, it's a term we use," Urban Meyer explained. "But with a guy like Mike, because he’s such a critical guy, I’m very close with him. That’s a Cadillac position in sports, one of them, is to be the starting tailback at Ohio State. So I do spend a lot of time with him, but Tony Alford’s done a really good job of bringing him along."
While living up to the example left by Elliott is too much to ask of any running back, the fact remains that Weber got to see exactly how his job should be done on every snap and every rep and every step. On the field and off.
Before you can grow, you need to be shown the way.
"He knows what the standard is," Meyer said. "He was here last year and he saw what happened in 2014, and just the way we run our program the culture is that you’re expected to be the best. What you are and who you are, you’re there for a reason, you’re expected to be the best and produce. If you’re not, we’ll find someone that is. He knows that and he knows what the expectations are."
