EVANSTON, ILLINOIS – OCTOBER 18: Master Teague III #33 of the Ohio State Buckeyes (Photo by Quinn Harris/Getty Images)

Master Teague gets more rushing yards then J.K. Dobbins

As I said before, Ryan Day tends to leave some starters in the game too long during blowouts. J.K. Dobbins isn’t one of them.

Day is going to want to preserve those legs for when it matters most in a couple of weeks. Also, Master Teague has earned some reps early in games due to his play on the field.

I expect Dobbins’ day to be done by about halftime, and Teague’s day to be done halfway through the fourth quarter.

That still leaves ample opportunity for Teague to pile up plent of rushing yards. I foresee him to go for over 100 yards on the ground.

He has been close to that mark and this could be the game he hits it. He has been a capable backup this season but if he has a big game his confidence will soar heading into the final three games.
