According to the folks at cfbstats blog, and from this article at Land of 10, Mike Weber is the best back for converting 3rd downs with 3 yards or less to go. 

This is a table the created comparing 3rd-and-short conversion rates and yardage gained among B1G backs. Some pretty good conversion rates from upcoming conference opponents, too.

Obviously the credit to the RB on 3rd down also goes to the O-line, so the praise goes around. They also mention that Zeke was 22/31 and Hyde was 9/14 (should be 10/15... #neverforget).

Edit: I previously stated this was just for 3rd downs and was incorrect. This is strictly for 3rd and short
