Ohio State's junior tailback has checked another milestone off the list, and this time it comes at the expense of another recent Buckeye great.
| PLAYER | YEARS | YARDS | TD |
|---|---|---|---|
| ARCHIE GRIFFIN | 1972-1975 | 5,589 | 26 |
| J.K. DOBBINS | 2017-2019 | 3,962+ | 33+ |
| EZEKIEL ELLIOTT | 2013-2015 | 3,961 | 43 |
| EDDIE GEORGE | 1992-1995 | 3,768 | 44 |
| TIM SPENCER | 1979-1982 | 3,553 | 36 |
J.K. Dobbins is now second on the all-time rushing list behind only two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin. He is currently putting together a solid performance in Ann Arbor and will have at least two more games to add to his career total.
Coming into the contest, he needed 59 yards to tie Ezekiel Elliott for the No. 2 spot in the Buckeye record books. He's quickly approaching 100 yards on the day and has already found the end zone.
The Texas native will be faced with a decision after his junior season as most NFL Draft pundits have him listed as an early-round projection. If he were to stick around for his senior season, Griffin's record would very much be in jeopardy.
Dobbins made his debut in 2017 and has been the lead back ever since. He took a step back in 2018 with Dwayne Haskins under center, but he's stormed back in a big way this season.
