COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Two games into the season and the Ohio State Buckeyes are still searching for a running attack.

The 11th-ranked Buckeyes rank 81st among the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in rushing heading into Saturday's contest with in-state challenger Toledo.

A year after Chris "Beanie" Wells jumped early to the NFL, the Buckeyes have solid but not sterling backs in Dan "Boom" Herron and Brandon Saine. Two acclaimed freshmen recruits, Jaamal Berry and Jordan Hall, haven't gotten a carry.

Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, a gifted runner and so-so passer, has relied far more on his arm than his legs. He has only 16 carries so far in the two games.
