Josh Uche vs. J.K. Dobbins

After a down sophomore season, Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins has bounced back his junior year. He has1446 yards and 15 touchdowns on the season and is averaging 6.6 yards per carry. Dobbins looks like a better prospect this season for the Buckeyes. He has more explosiveness in his game, and has turned in more explosive plays for touchdowns this season.

Dobbins has also been better at creating after contact this season with better balance through said contact. He will need to channel everything he’s got in this rivalry game, because Michigan plays the run very well.

Speaking of the Michigan defense, Josh Uche has had a very good season for the Wolverines as a pass rusher. Uche has 10.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks this season. He’s a very twitchy pass rusher in 2019 who has the bend to get around the edge and create pressure on the quarterback.

Prospects to watch in Clemson-South Carolina. dark. Next

Uche is a good athlete as well who can turn and chase and make plays. Uche isn’t the greatest run defender, but it will be fun to watch if he can set the edge and make things more difficult for Dobbins in the running game.

This game is one you need to tune into if you are a draft fan.
