It's impossible to pick a favorite one. We as Buckeye fans have been blessed by having all of these great running backs. They sure make for a great highlight reel huh? Go Bucks.
Looks like this Ohio State team is pretty good at winning! Also, Tony Alford is the greatest RB coach in Ohio State history. Zeke, Weber, Dobbins, Sermon, Henderson, Williams... Need I say more?
Eddie will always be the goat for me at OSU. However, this Treveyon Henderson is something special. Hope come Saturday everyone in the country will witness it.
Great video. Can't forget Boom Herron going for 90+ vs UM in 2010. Would've been longest ever OSU run from scrimmage if not for ridiculous penalty toward the end.
Thanks for these. Tim Spencer was really underrated. That 1982 team had the strangest year ever. Probably the best team ever to lose 3 games in a row. After they recovered, was probably the best team in the country by the end of the year. Ask Steve Young.
Robert Smith should have been on here. He’s arguably the greatest NFL running back Ohio State ever produced. Also no Pepe Pearson? How can a guy who rushed for over 1400 yard in a single season (10th all time) not be on any highlight reel of great Buckeye RBs.
Best OSU teams always were able to pound the rock with kickass RBs. Also, Archie Griffin absolutely explodes up the field as soon as the ball touches his hands it's unreal.
the games that stand out in my memory are eddie george against minnesota, maurice clarett against washington st, zeke against alabama, and trey sermon against northwestern.
I've seen Archie, Eddie, Maurice, Beanie and all the others in between. Zeke Elliott is the best OSU RB I've ever seen. He came up huge against elite teams every time when healthy.
Side note: Met a kid's parent on my son's soccer team last night who laughed at my "Touchdown Buckeyes" ring tone on my cell & he mentioned that he's a Clemson fan. I told him we'll get along great & he looked at me like I was crazy. I told him I have zero problem with Clemson but if he said that "M" word, we would be in trouble!!!!!!
Robert Smith is arguably the greatest NFL RB ever from Ohio State. He only played 8 year and had 1500+ his last year. If he would have kept going another 5 years he’s likely a HOF inductee. He also forgot Pepe Pearson who has one of the ten greatest single seasons in school history with over 1400 yards.
Having grown up in Columbus in 60s 70s .Everyone wanted to be a Buckeye. It was always about rushing the ball. Electrifying, saw all of this some in person
Great video! You left off Robert Smith though :( Fwiw, depending on your definition of "running back," Braxton and JT could be in here also. Braxton's spin move was the long run of the season in that VT game
Top 10 OSU RBs since 2002: 1) Zeke 2) JK Dobbins 3) Carlos Hyde 4) Beanie Wells 5) Boom Herron 6) Antonio Pittman 7) Maurice Clarette 8) Trey Sermon 9) Mike Weber 10) Curtis Samuel
Maybe pepe Pearson run in the rose bowl against Arizona state also and any osu fan that I know is not going to complain about a video being too long lol
Such tasks are always tough, but no Cal Murray runs? Those option pitches to Cal Murray and Tim Spencer were killers for defenses. Could’ve used a few runs from our other Heisman Trophy RBs as well. That said, thanks for your effort!
Starts with Archie, then Spencer,Byers,Eddie,Wiley,Snow, Clarrett, Hall, Harris,Pittman, Beanie Wells, Boom Herron, Rod Smith, Elliott, Samuel, Dobbins, Sermon....ect... Who can match that tradition in all of college football???? And the way were recruiting theres much more to come. Enjoy it Buckeye fans!
U must’ve grew up before the 90s bc that is just ugly big shoulder pads and high numbers gotta go but the only thing I wish they did is quit trying to protect the QB so much with flags
Yes so true! I may, or may not have... Don't remember exactly, but it was probably the first one, but I may or may not have held at the television for I don't know 10 or 15 minutes afterwards. ( it was the first time not going to lie)
I started watching the buckeyes in 95. The most violent runner Ive ever seen in the scarlet and gray is Carlos Hyde. That guy used to punish opponents. True smashmouth football
I'd also like to see his 3rd down run against TTUN two plays before his OT tuddy. Even though he didn't make the 1st down, that was a thing of beauty--and made JT's 4th and 1 one that will stick in the craw of every TTUN fan forever.
This is what our 2024 team needs. Our backs are beast but they don’t have enough game breaking, back breaking, demoralizing touchdowns against the other teams we play
Lydell Ross Joe Montgomery Matt Keller In 1976 Jeff Logan had some great runs Late 70’s early 80’s George Cooper Ron Springs(Shawn Spring’s dad)Calvin MurrayTim Spencer Keith Byars( #41)my number playing football because of him 1984 best all around season any OSU RBI’s ever had(1,764 yds rushing and 479 yds receiving)28 touchdowns plus he returned kickoffs 2,243 total yds rush/receive don’t know his yds on k/o returns John Woolridge Vince Workman a fullback named Vaughn Broadnax Carlos Snow Robert Smith Jonathan Wells Raymont Harris Pepe Pearson Derek Combs(#13)Badboy Momo Clarett what he could have been we should have repeated on 2003 with Maurice winning the Heisman but arrogance dumb people filling his head and ego and greed ruined him back then Antonio Pittman Beanie Wells OHIO STATE BUCKEYES!!
That record breaking run by Sermon will always be one of my favorites. Talk about breaking the record in style!
He dotted the "i" for Buckeye backs. Now there's more coming...Go Bucks!
Watching #27 run still gives me goosebumps.
JK Dobbins
Maurice Clarett is one of my favorite college running backs. He ran with a lot of attitude.
It's impossible to pick a favorite one. We as Buckeye fans have been blessed by having all of these great running backs. They sure make for a great highlight reel huh? Go Bucks.
We Buckeye fans have been spoiled for a long long time when it comes to amazing running backs... Mr Henderson will be next up on the list! Go Bucks!!
running backs, wide receivers and linebackers
Miyan Williams on there too!
Donavan Edwards! Woah! Can they catch him? No!
@@Adam-vs2in The Spin Master QUINSHON JUDKINS.. Whoaaaa
That byars run was in an episode of saved by the bell
Love this!!!!! Go Buckeyes!!!! All of these running plays should give all of us in Buckeye Nation Goosebumps!!!!! 🏈
I went to high school with Maurice Clarett. It’s good to you added some of his runs. Go Buckeyes!
His strip tackle against Miami is probably his greatest play.
And he had a lot.
I went to high school with clarett too. I graduated the year before he did
I went to prison with Clarett. He always gave me his cornbread. Nice guy.
talent-wise he was GOAT material. just didn't have it upstairs.
Looks like this Ohio State team is pretty good at winning!
Also, Tony Alford is the greatest RB coach in Ohio State history. Zeke, Weber, Dobbins, Sermon, Henderson, Williams... Need I say more?
So many amazing Ohio State running backs. TreVeyon Henderson...you're time to shine!
Man the toss sweep to Eddie was just a thing of beauty
Ezekiel Elliot will always be the greatest rb in osu history in my opinion
Eddie will always be the goat for me at OSU. However, this Treveyon Henderson is something special. Hope come Saturday everyone in the country will witness it.
Dobbins is the most skilled Running back we’ve seen at OSU
That run by Curtis Samuel to win the double overtime game vs ❌ichigan will give me chills every time I watch it
I was at that game... unforgettable!
Im officially old because I've seen most of these runs live 😂
I’d replace “old” with “blessed” lol
Great video. Can't forget Boom Herron going for 90+ vs UM in 2010. Would've been longest ever OSU run from scrimmage if not for ridiculous penalty toward the end.
Man Trey Sermon was nasty against NW and Clemson. Such a shame he got injured so early in the Alabama game.
First play of the fcking game smh.
Thanks for these. Tim Spencer was really underrated. That 1982 team had the strangest year ever. Probably the best team ever to lose 3 games in a row. After they recovered, was probably the best team in the country by the end of the year. Ask Steve Young.
'He threw a shoe'!!!!
Robert Smith should have been on here. He’s arguably the greatest NFL running back Ohio State ever produced. Also no Pepe Pearson? How can a guy who rushed for over 1400 yard in a single season (10th all time) not be on any highlight reel of great Buckeye RBs.
Agree
Watching all these guys destroy Michigan game after game is amazing
My top 3 Favorite OSU backs
Clarrett
Bennie Wells
Eddie George
Best OSU teams always were able to pound the rock with kickass RBs. Also, Archie Griffin absolutely explodes up the field as soon as the ball touches his hands it's unreal.
Pittman is probably the most underrated RB in Buckeye history IMHO
Calvin Murray
Carlos Hyde
Matt, your OSU videos are a treasure!
the games that stand out in my memory are eddie george against minnesota, maurice clarett against washington st, zeke against alabama, and trey sermon against northwestern.
Touche!!!
Crazy how lucky us buckeye fans have been to have a stacked team year after year, there will never be a shortage of talent in Columbus
I got chills, chills, chills watching this!!!!!
I was remembering every place i was on every run.
9:10 straight through the heart of the south!
Eddie running that cross buck left is amazing, size, speed and power.
Great video! Wished there would have been some Boom Herron, but still a fantastic video.
The list of great Ohio State running backs is just ridiculous!!!! Go Bucks!!!
Keith Byars run remember it like it was yesterday. Also where's Robert Smith, Carlos Snow,or Raymont Harris.
Jeff Logan,Calvin Murray, Tim Spencer, Carlos Snow. All were great running backs who gave it their all/best in big games.
Expected to run amazingly. This is football at The Ohio State University!!! Playing to a higher standard.
love all the runs against TTUN😉🌰
Running Back U!! Great list of Buckeyes!! Go Bucks!!
I've seen Archie, Eddie, Maurice, Beanie and all the others in between. Zeke Elliott is the best OSU RB I've ever seen. He came up huge against elite teams every time when healthy.
Is it bad that I watched this video 3 times?
OMG we're so loaded with talent this year! Can't wait for September & to whip TUN again! GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!
Side note: Met a kid's parent on my son's soccer team last night who laughed at my "Touchdown Buckeyes" ring tone on my cell & he mentioned that he's a Clemson fan. I told him we'll get along great & he looked at me like I was crazy. I told him I have zero problem with Clemson but if he said that "M" word, we would be in trouble!!!!!!
Let’s gooooo!!!! 💪🏾💪🏾
AGREE
CANT WAIT !!
Carlos Snow overlooked. I know there were so many players.
I love this video, but I would have liked to see some Robert Smith highlights included.
Harris as well
@@ericblair1011 Ramon Harris lkr. I'm 57 and I have seen some great ball carrying by Buckeyes backs
Robert Smith is arguably the greatest NFL RB ever from Ohio State. He only played 8 year and had 1500+ his last year. If he would have kept going another 5 years he’s likely a HOF inductee. He also forgot Pepe Pearson who has one of the ten greatest single seasons in school history with over 1400 yards.
Having grown up in Columbus in 60s 70s .Everyone wanted to be a Buckeye. It was always about rushing the ball. Electrifying, saw all of this some in person
Awesome! Keep making them vids. I'm enjoying them. Go Buckeyes!
This is glorious
HOW COULD THEY NOT HAVE A RUN FOR THE BEST DUEL THREAT QB EVER #BRAXTONMILLER
Good stuff. A lot of good memories here. Thank you.
Ah yes. Back when they had scarlet jerseys..............Lawyers - ya gotta luv em !
Great video! You left off Robert Smith though :(
Fwiw, depending on your definition of "running back," Braxton and JT could be in here also. Braxton's spin move was the long run of the season in that VT game
He was a prick anyways
Top 10 OSU RBs since 2002:
1) Zeke
2) JK Dobbins
3) Carlos Hyde
4) Beanie Wells
5) Boom Herron
6) Antonio Pittman
7) Maurice Clarette
8) Trey Sermon
9) Mike Weber
10) Curtis Samuel
Soooooooooooo Goooooooood. I feel alive again!!! Can't wait for the fall.
Wish had some Champ Henson or Pete Johnson action. Super job. Thnx
Jim Otis
That Brandon Saine touchdown run against Iowa in 2009 was left out
Thank you for the upload!!! Go Bucks!
One of your best videos ever Matt.
was hoping that williams run would be thrown in there at the end. what a nasty run
Kinda surprised not to see Robert Smith in there. He had explosive speed.
If we had had both Williams and Henderson against Michigan this year, we would have seen much More of this
Zeke was just unreal
How is nobody talking about that run my sermon and how justin fields just caught up to make the block. Love it
That 2002 Michigan-Ohio St. game was my first rivalry game between the two teams, I have seen us play them 9 times.....
If you're not fired up after watching that, you're dead inside.
85 yards through the heart of the south-
Maybe pepe Pearson run in the rose bowl against Arizona state also and any osu fan that I know is not going to complain about a video being too long lol
Wells 2 runs against LSU were awesome but difficult to enjoy because we got whooped for the NC.
My favorite run? Carlos hide vs Iowa 😬 his nic name? Superman 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Just a reminder that jt got the 1st
Here in 2024 to affirm this. But since your post it’s been rough for the Bucks. This year things change!
That Beanie run 👍 👍
Elliott use to go crazy 💪🏾💪🏾
Such tasks are always tough, but no Cal Murray runs? Those option pitches to Cal Murray and Tim Spencer were killers for defenses. Could’ve used a few runs from our other Heisman Trophy RBs as well. That said, thanks for your effort!
that byars run with no shoes and toilet paper..pure chaos
5:30 that stiff arm was meaner than any I’ve ever seen
Starts with Archie, then Spencer,Byers,Eddie,Wiley,Snow, Clarrett, Hall, Harris,Pittman, Beanie Wells, Boom Herron, Rod Smith, Elliott, Samuel, Dobbins, Sermon....ect... Who can match that tradition in all of college football???? And the way were recruiting theres much more to come. Enjoy it Buckeye fans!
Thank You for this!
Wait where is the Braxton Miller spin move against VT??
Tressel always had stud running backs.
I'm not gonna bother to look it up but my gosh ... how many total yards did Elliott rush for against Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon ?
You better get ready to add Treyveon Henderson to these clips
Wish they still used the big shoulder pads and big numbers on them.
U must’ve grew up before the 90s bc that is just ugly big shoulder pads and high numbers gotta go but the only thing I wish they did is quit trying to protect the QB so much with flags
That was a lot of good stuff, especially with the play by play and no music. But it should be called Greatest runs of the last 45 years.
It should be called the greatest of 45 starting with 45. (Archie's number)
13:38 this hurts every time
“RUN! THE BALL!”
Derek Combs 80 yard touchdown against Wisconsin with one shoe. My favorite!
Still can't convince me that Clemson didn't take out JK Dobbins on purpose.
THANK YOU!!
EXACTLY!!
Yes so true! I may, or may not have... Don't remember exactly, but it was probably the first one, but I may or may not have held at the television for I don't know 10 or 15 minutes afterwards. ( it was the first time not going to lie)
I started watching the buckeyes in 95. The most violent runner Ive ever seen in the scarlet and gray is Carlos Hyde. That guy used to punish opponents. True smashmouth football
Carlos Snow had a few god runs too.
I was at the game when Eddie put 314 on the Illini. Froze my Buckeyes off but stayed for the whole thing!
Throw some boom Herron in there
Buckeye fans just know what winning football is. To quote Woody Hayes-show me a good loser and thats a loser!
I was gonna like the video but it appears the likes are at 665 😬 ill leave a comment for support 👍
You need Curtis Samuels long TD run at Penn state on here
I'd also like to see his 3rd down run against TTUN two plays before his OT tuddy. Even though he didn't make the 1st down, that was a thing of beauty--and made JT's 4th and 1 one that will stick in the craw of every TTUN fan forever.
The only bad thing about this video is that it ends.... I could watch this forever!!!
Had seats in the end zone of Claretts first 2 touchdowns!
Through (threw) the Shoe! Threw the shew?
This is what our 2024 team needs. Our backs are beast but they don’t have enough game breaking, back breaking, demoralizing touchdowns against the other teams we play
Boom Herron - 98 yards vs Michigan has to be on here (Horrible call against Dane)
Let’s go Elliot
14:00 let's take a moment to appreciate Justin fields
look at us, we're so good, we can run thru cupcakes!!! mama is so proud that we beat the cupcakes!!!
And Boon Herron’s 98 yd TD run that got called back by that unnecessary flag against them bitches up north.
Here's a negative play... oh wait, that's Beanie. 6:03
