Mike Weber is ready to go.
2017 has not been smooth sailing for the redshirt sophomore running back as he's been sidelined with a lingering hamstring injury the majority of the first four games, but Urban Meyer announced Monday that Weber was medically cleared and would play on Saturday against Rutgers.

Weber was expected to be the team's starting tailback this season after he rushed for over 1,000 yards in his debut season last year, but with the injury those duties fell to freshman J.K. Dobbins, who has exploded on to the scene, averaging 130 rushing yards a game.
With Weber clear, the Buckeye backfield has become a two-headed monster. Meyer mentioned last week that the coaching staff was already figuring out how to use both backs in the offense and that they would like to put both of them in the backfield at the same time.
