Method
- Every running back who played at Ohio since 2004, ranked by rushing yards over his games there. Bowl and playoff games count.
- The numbers here start in 2004, so a running back who played at Ohio before then isn't here.
- A decade counts his rushing yards at Ohio in its seasons.
- The record book's numbers are the school's own. Where they and the box scores differ for one player, the box scores are missing a game or count bowls another way.
- A running back still playing at Ohio is counted at tonight's numbers against the record book's, which run through the 2025 season.
