Summary
Could Ohio State have its deepest running back room in more than 30 years? Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss whether the Buckeyes’ current backfield could be the deepest since the loaded 1992 group that featured Robert Smith, Raymont Harris, Jeff Cothran, Eddie George, Butler By’not’e, and others. They compare that room to the current group of Bo Jackson, Isaiah West, Ja'Kobi Jackson, Legend Bey, Turbo Rogers, and more. They also look back at other Ohio State running back rooms from the Cooper, Tressel, Meyer, and Day eras to determine where this year’s group could eventually rank. 00:00 — Intro 00:10 — BuckeyeInsiders.com launch update 00:38 — Could this be Ohio State’s deepest RB room since 1992? 02:47 — Comparing this year’s backfield to the 1992 group 05:05 — Could this year’s production exceed 1992? 07:19 — Why the 1992 rushing numbers need context 10:17 — Remembering Tim Williams and the 1992 offense 13:48 — Other Ohio State running back rooms in the conversation 17:18 — NFL production from past Buckeye backfields 19:19 — Final thoughts and listener question Could Bo Jackson, Isaiah West, Ja'Kobi Jackson, Legend Bey, and the rest of Ohio State’s running backs become one of the deepest backfields in Buckeye history?
