Who is the best running back in Buckeyes history?

I remember Archie Griffin and his two Heisman...but was he the best Buckeyes runner ever? If he was, who rates 2nd and 3rd?

Re: Who is the best running back in Buckeyes history?

I think Archie's the best, but there have been so many great ones. Let's not overlook 1955 Heisman Trophy winner Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, who held the Buckeyes rushing record (2,466 yards) from 1955 to 1969, where it was broken by Jim Otis. And Eddie George belongs in the discussion too, no doubt. Clarett? Not so much.

Hopalong was good...never did like Otis though.

What about Robert Smith. He went on to have a pretty good career with the Vikings.
