OHIO STATE DEFENSE WARY OF CHALLENGE INDIANA'S JORDAN HOWARD POSES SATURDAY IN FIRST BIG TEN AFFAIR
Raekwon McMillan didn't play much against him, but former Michigan State running back Jeremy Langford is, in the linebacker's opinion, the standard at the position among players he's faced in college.
"I always compare running backs to Langford from last year. He was a hard runner, every part of his game was well-developed when I played against Michigan State," said Ohio State's sophomore middle linebacker Monday, who had four tackles in his team's win at Michigan State last November. "He’s a great running back just like anybody else, but anybody who plays on this level is."
McMillan was asked if he thought Indiana's Jordan Howard — the nation's leading rusher with 675 yards and the guy the Buckeyes take on Saturday — is on the same level as Langford, who's currently battling to be Matt Forte's backup with the Chicago Bears. The linebacker's response is about what you would expect from someone as business-like as McMillan.
"We'll see," he said.
The Buckeyes are sure to get well-acquainted with Howard early and often Saturday afternoon in Bloomington, Ind. The junior transferred from UAB in the offseason after the Blazer football program went under, granted an NCAA waiver to play right away at a new school.
Howard's nearly a perfect fit to replace Tevin Coleman, the man who burnt Ohio State for 228 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries in Columbus last November. Coleman is now in a backfield rotation with the Atlanta Falcons, and though he may be faster than Howard, his successor packs a powerful punch.
"We’ve gotta focus on tackling, getting him down on the ground," McMillan said of Howard. "When we make contact, not let him get yards after contact."
