The Ohio State running back visited with the media to share his thoughts on the upcoming national title game.
The 2020 Ohio State Buckeyes offensive has truly been a collective effort. It's a group that features tremendous talent at all positions (perhaps the tight end room is the most underrated unit on the team).
While Justin Fields is the unquestioned leader of the offense, he's had some substantial help during the last few games from running back Trey Sermon.
The first year Buckeye (Sermon is a grad-transfer from Oklahoma) is on some kind of run right now - and he's doing it when the spotlight is the brightest. According to ESPN Stats and Information, Sermon's 524 rushing yards between the Big Ten championship game against Northwestern and the College Football Playoff semifinal against Clemson is the most rushing yards in a 2-game stretch in Ohio State football history.
Considering the Buckeyes have been playing football for 130 years, that's no small accomplishment.

And considering the stakes and the two defenses that Sermon accomplished that feat against, it really is one of the truly remarkable stretches in Buckeye history.
Here's what Trey had to say to the media on Monday as he previewed his first national championship game appearance. In the video at the top of the page, Sermon expresses his gratitude and appreciation for the chance to play one more game on Monday.
