Four decades ago, “Bo knows football” and “Bo knows baseball” were coined for two-sport superstar Bo Jackson.

For Ohio State freshman running back Bo Jackson, no relation to the former Auburn great and 1985 Heisman Trophy winner, it suffices to say that the budding Buckeyes star “knows The Game” after a big performance on Saturday. Jackson delivered for the top-ranked Buckeyes (12–0), rushing for 117 yards on 22 carries in a 27–9 victory over arch rival No. 15 Michigan (9–3).
