Ohio State football Judkins, Henderson both 1,000-yard rushers

On By Littum

Ohio State has two 1,000-yard rushers for the 2024 season. TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins both reached that benchmark in Monday’s national championship game against Notre Dame, and the moment it happened came in dramatic fashion, when Judkins broke off a 70-yard run at the start of the second half.

It’s just the third time in school history that Ohio State has fielded two such prolific rushers. The last time it happened was in 2013, when running back Carlos Hyde had 1,521 yards and quarterback Braxton Miller 1,068. Before that, Archie Griffin (1,577) and Pete Johnson (1,059) each eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in 1975
