Ohio running back Beau Blankenship exploded for 129 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries at Central Michigan.
Not bad for a guy who had just 39 carries and 181 yards on the season before Thursday night. Starter Donte Harden wasn't feeling terrific, and was limited to six attempts. There is little reason to think Harden's sickness will carry over to next Wedneday's game against Bowling Green.
