Can Mikel Leshoure conquer Ohio State?

With 180 yards rushing against Northern Illinois, Leshoure has 100 yards or more in his last four games, becoming the first Illini runner to accomplish the feat since 1997. In the last nine games, Leshoure has 969 yards.

Meanwhile, Ohio State hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 27 games, a span that dates to 105 yards by USC's Joe McKnight in early 2008 and ranks second only to Alabama's streak of 35 games.
