Great chart courtesy of The Ozone. (Below)
OSU has lost to "them" just twice since 2000, both times OSU's leading rusher
gained less than 40 yards.
If history is an indicator - chart Weber/Samuel carries/yards gained. If they're over
75 at half-time, things should end well.
If they're under 40, not so good.
