TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams will attempt to work their way back to full strength this week as the Buckeyes prepare for The Game.that his top-two running backs might not enter Ohio State's matchup with Michigan at 100%. That leaves many to wonder if true freshman Dallan Hayden's combination of health and productivity over the last two weeks makes him the best option out of the backfield for the Buckeyes on Saturday.
Henderson made his first appearance in the Maryland game after missing the previous two Ohio State contests with a foot injury. However, the second-year Buckeye appeared to be afflicted with lingering pain from the ailment andin the contest, rushing for 19 yards on 11 carries while adding a 31-yard reception for a touchdown before Hayden took over duties as the lead ball carrier. Hayden finished the game with 27 carries for 146 yards and three touchdowns.
Later in Tuesday's press conference, Day claimed the plan is for Henderson and Williams to practice this week and said he would prefer they work directly with their teammates in the days leading up to the Michigan game instead of taking mental reps. Still, Day said Henderson and Williams' availability for Saturday won't necessarily be contingent on how much they practice.
When asked if Hayden was"starter caliber," Day said it is"hard to say" at this moment, recognizing that Michigan is a more challenging opponent than any Ohio State has faced to this point in the season.
This kid has been producing from day 1. Feed the kid!!! He’s different and please Coach Day can we go uptempo like we used to!!
U think Thanks Ryan for that profound statement 🤦🏼🤦🏼.
Xavier should enter the chat as well. He has ~10 carries and one if them is the best run of the year.
Name the true freshman who have have huge impacts on THE GAME in the past… Archie, Clarett, JT, Olave…
Alabama's 5 star rb just hot the portal
That's great he has proven he can carry the load and take care of the football. Go Bucks!
RB1 - Dallan RB2 - Miyan (if ready) RB3 - Henderson (limited snaps)
A rb is 11 att for 19 yds new rb comes in and in the second half 145 yds and 3 tds Really stats are close
I like the answer. No point tipping your hand before gameday. It will be interesting to see who is in the backfield on the first possession.
Last night I had a dream. Ohio State covered
Conversation? Is he really insinuating that he is considering starting an injured Williams or Henderson over the healthy dude that just went for 146 and 3tds in 1 half of football? The stubbornness is comical at this point!
Dallan is the better back than Treveyon
Conversation? What other choice does he have? Maybe Johnson. Chip has one carry so far this year.
hand him the keys and let’s ride with him. quick, agile, and his vision and is phenomenal.
Feed the hot hand.
No, it's not worth a conversation. He SHOULD ABSOLUTELY be getting reps, even if Trey is healthy. If all three were healthy I'm playing Miyan and Dallan.
Umm he should get snaps no matter what.
Yes please
Yes please
Day seemed to stress Dallan 'protecting the ball' more than I'd like as a listener. Has he had ball security issues in practice?
Can’t believe how fast the season has gone. Down to the last 4 games I think Mr. Hayden will see a lot of action in those games!
Hayden has been an absolute joy to watch.
Dan_Hope Henderson hasn’t been fully healthy since…? And if the first half of Maryland was any indication, it’s hurting the team.
If Miyan is healthy enough to go, sprinkle him in there with Hayden. But if Miyan isn’t 100%, Dallas Hayden absolutely has to have the majority of the touches. It isn’t hard.
Dan_Hope Use all three
It’s the only conversation! Start Dallan! WTF!
Just don't wait til it's too late to decide to put Hayden in if Miyan/Henderson aren't working out
With Henderson banged up, again, and William a bit of a 50/50, I think it’s a necessity to have him in there from the jump.
If all 3 are healthy, Hayden & Williams should split time while Henderson is strictly a chance of pace guy
