Ohio State RB Duo Split: Bo Plays, Ja'Kobi Injured

Ohio State's running back corps will see a significant shift for their upcoming game against Indiana. Bo Jackson is healthy and available to play, but his running mate, Ja'Kobi Jackson, has been ruled out due to an injury. This marks a considerable challenge for the Buckeyes as they prepare to face a formidable Indiana defense.

Ja'Kobi Jackson, who had started the last two games and leads the team with six rushing touchdowns this season, suffered an injury following their win over Maryland. He was officially sidelined on Wednesday's injury report. Bo Jackson, a sophomore, has accumulated 460 yards and four touchdowns this season.

With Ja'Kobi's absence, the Buckeyes will rely heavily on Bo Jackson for carries. Freshman Legend Bey is also expected to contribute, having recorded 50 yards on 12 carries this season. Coach Ryan Day acknowledged the defensive strength of Indiana, calling their defensive line one of the biggest challenges they will face all season.
