Julian Sayin revealed what could be a major advantage down the road for the Ohio State Buckeyes to capitalize on

Ohio State's run game started against Texas with CJ Donaldson as the lead back with James Peoples rotating in as the second guy. Once the Buckeyes got that win out of the way, they slowly started to turn to freshman Bo Jackson as the lead back. 

For a third straight game on Saturday, Jackson was the Buckeyes’ leading rusher when the game ended. The freshman from Cleveland had 80 yards on 17 runs and it was his third straight game of at least 80 rushing yards. Donaldson carried it nine times for 39 yards against Washington and Peoples had three runs. Ohio State may shrink it to using Jackson and Donaldson more as the season goes on but they have three running backs they clearly trust at this point.  

With the expanded College Football Playoff format and the potential for 16 games in a season, depth has never been more important in the sport. Ohio State showed they had depth last season on their national championship run and it’ll be vital once again this season. Early signs are that the Buckeyes will have no problem with that in the backfield.
