Ohio State is tasked with replacing its second-leading rusher in program history this season, which made me curious to take a look back at how they've filled in for other top running backs over the years.
Other than Dobbins, every time the Buckeyes have replaced one of their top five all-time leading rushers, they have had a 1,000-yard running back the following year.
