As Ohio State breaks in a new starting quarterback for the 2023 season, being able to rely on tailbacks TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams would be a huge safety net.
Speaking of the final three games of the season - at Maryland, Michigan and Georgia - the duo contributed just 22 carries for 61 yards, good for 2.77 per try. That meant the overall rushing attack suffered, averaging just 141 yards per game on 4.06 per attempt. In the previous 10 games, Ohio State averaged 208 rushing yards per contest on 5.74 per carry even with Henderson and Williams nursing injuries to that point.
In the opener versus the Fighting Irish, they combined to rush for 175 yards on 6.03 per carry. The following week, they averaged 7.39 yards per attempt as the Buckeyes leaned on the passing game to torch Arkansas State. Two weeks later in the B1G opener versus Wisconsin, Henderson and Williams combined to have their best game of the season cranking out 222 rushing yards on 6.94 a pop in a 52-21 victory.
Bottom line, it was a season filled with more frustration than success for the two talented backs due to persistent injuries. The good news is both will be back next season and at least as it relates to the maladies that plagued them in 2022, those should be distant memories as the team prepares for another run at a Big Ten title and a College Football Playoff bid.
For Henderson specifically, that could mean more than just running the football. He proved a dangerous receiving weapon out of the backfield in 2021, catching 27 balls for 312 yards and four scores. Last season however, he caught only four passes for 28 yards with one touchdown. As you'll recall, 21 of those yards came on the touchdown catch versus Maryland in what was his last action of the year.
