2012 Running Back Discussion...

Discuss.

Im anxious to see Warren Ball this Spring. Dunn will be there too right?


Jordan Hall will finally be put into the role that fits him best. He should rarely be asked to run between the Tackles on shirt yardage plays. That was some of the dumbest play calling I've ever witnessed.


And finally, my boy, Carlos Hyde.


Write this down, take a picture, turn on your recorder.....

Carlos Hyde will be our starting RB and he'll be All-B1G the next 2 seasons. I can't express enough how good I think this kid is. NFL bound..

Ball will not be enrolling until the fall.........

Dunn will be available.

HALFBACK

34 Carlos Hyde (6-0, 238, rSo.) — 101 carries, 549 yards (5.4), 6 TD
7 Jordan Hall (5-9, 195, Sr.) — 96 carries, 384 yards (4.0), 2 TD
2 Rod Smith (6-3, 230, rSo.) — 29 carries, 116 yards (4.0), 1 TD
Bri’onte Dunn (6-2, 215, Fr.) - Enrolled in January

H-BACK

44 Zach Boren (6-0, 252, Sr.) — 6 catches, 60 yards
49 Adam Homan (6-2, 248, Sr.)
33 David Durham (6-1, 245, rSo.)

I'm excited by the fact that I get one more year to watch Zach Bored absolutely kill incoming linemen and blockers and pave the way for the RB. He's got to be one of the more underrated guys on the team. This kid gets it done and I hope Buckeye Nation all see it.

Right now I think it will be Hyde starting and Dunn backing up.

All depending on spring practice though.

I'm in the minority in thinking that Jordan Hall just isn't very good.


At the beginning of the season, after his suspension, he was running really aggressive on kickoff returns. About 3 games later, he looked like he was running scared and never impressed me again after that, other than the 4th and goal from the 1 and he punched it in there.

Don't forget about Berry. He will be in the mix as along as he stays on the team.

I think Meyer will use a lot of guys. The top two, maybe three, order of the depth chart will be a formality IMO.

I'm still curious about Rod Smith... pretty sure we can move on from Berry though.
