10 Players to Watch in Ohio State-Michigan Showdown

#3. Mike Weber RB

The redshirt freshman became the third freshman in school history to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards in a season during last week’s win over Michigan State.

What’s even more remarkable is that Weber is playing alongside Barrett and Curtis Samuel, who are both over 650 yards rushing, as well.

Weber is the classic downhill bruiser, who is not afraid to go right at the defense and take a gang of tacklers with him.

He does not look like a freshman by any stretch of the imagination and has the vision and quickness to explode for huge runs at any moment.

Weber and Samuel complement each other perfectly and make Ohio State’s one-two punch at running back as lethal as any in the nation.

Add Barrett into that mix and it makes life difficult for opposing defenses to handle.

What Michigan brings to the table is one of the best defenses in the country.

This match appears to be two unstoppable forces running into each other.
