How he could hurt Ohio State: Quarterback Tanner Morgan is the question mark for Minnesota in its season opener against Ohio State, but the Gophers and Buckeyes should both view Ibrahim as a sure thing. That running back-quarterback combination has to put the Buckeyes on alert, and if you’re not sure if Morgan could do enough to beat Ohio State, know that Ibrahim can. He’s a classic Big Ten back, not a first-round talent, but a reliable conference force. Mel Kiper has him No. 8 on his early list of running back prospects for the 2022 NFL Draft. Phil Steele has him No. 10 among his best backs in the country. He may not be a gamebreaker, but if the Gophers get a lead, Ibrahim could help hold that lead and wear down a new OSU linebacking crew.
Dating back to Minnesota’s bowl win over Auburn to end the 2019 season, he has run for 100 yards in eight straight games. He could certainly make that nine straight against the Buckeyes. He might be the best running back the Buckeyes would face until a potential playoff matchup against a team like Texas A&M (Isaiah Spiller), Oklahoma (Kennedy Brooks) or Georgia (Zamir White).

Minnesota All-Big Ten running back Mohamed Ibrahim could wear down Ohio State: Buckeyes’ best opponents, No. 9
Ibrahim could wind up as the leading rusher in Minnesota history
Go Gophers!!
