As always, it's the J.K. Dobbins show. We've already talked about the Big Ten Championship game MVP on Eleven Warriors, but really, put this in perspective: if this guy was a featured back on a Jim Tressel squad, we'd be thinking of him in the same way that we did Maurice Clarett, because he's a player capable of capturing our imagination in a really real and tangible way.

And hey, 1,364 yards isn't anything to sneeze at no matter how old the player might be. It's even crazier that Dobbins alone accounts for nearly half of the total rushing yards on a team like the 2017 Ohio State team. He has a bright, bright future, and will give the Buckeyes a home run threat on the ground for years to come.

But also don't forget about guys like Haubeil, who has seemingly figured out most of the kickoff issues, and Chase Young, who is definitely the future at DL. This is going to be a fun class in the future, and it's all led by the MVP.
