Being a running back for the Ohio State Buckeyes this decade was certainly interesting. It always had it’s highs, and it had it’s lows. But it was always interesting.
Especially for our RBs, it was either sink or swim, and you know who the swimmers were. On the field, they carried the names of Beanie, Pittman, and Clarett. But the ones who didn’t grab the headlines were no laughing matter either. Take for example, our star of the day, Lydell Ross.
Ross was never the central focus of any Buckeye offensive scheme, but he got the job done for us whenever his number was called. Yet, he’s never listed among the men who carried the load for us this decade.
It’s hard to imagine that a guy who averaged over 4 yards a carry in his final two years at Ohio State as someone who isn’t remembered much outside of Columbus, but that’s not the case here at The BBC. We wish to honor Lydell for his dedication to The Ohio State University, and for his 2,300+ yards while in a Buckeye uni.
Plus, this was one of the toughest runs you could find from any player (second play in the clip).
Here’s to you, Lydell Ross.
