Rushers starting to gain ground on Buckeyes

Ohio State has allowed nine players to rush for 100 yards or more in a game since 2007, tying them for third best among FBS schools. Three of those players, though, have come this season and Ohio State still has to contain three of the Big Ten’s top five leading rushers by season’s end. Alabama leads with four 100-yard rushing games allowed followed by Boston College (7), OSU and Pittsburgh (9) and Brigham Young (10).
