Mike Weber's first career run as a Buckeye was violent. The rest of his first half was just as impressive.
Days after earning the starting nod at running back, the Detroit native picked up 94 yards on 11 runs in the first half against Bowling Green, helping his Buckeyes to a 35-10 lead at the break.
His debut, along with his career, is still a work in progress, but that first half alone puts him in elite company with other great Ohio State running backs.
