Bo Jackson rushed for more than 1,000 yards as a true freshman at Ohio State. So what comes next in year two?

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr revisit their offseason expectations for Bo Jackson and discuss whether his projected numbers still make sense after spring ball. They break down possible rushing totals, yards per carry, touchdowns, carry distribution, and how Ohio State’s deep running back room could impact Jackson’s production.

They also discuss the role of Isaiah West, Ja'Kobi Jackson, Legend Bey, Carlos Locklyn, Arthur Smith, and whether a better offensive line could make the Buckeyes’ running game even more efficient this season.
