The passing game should be plenty effective for Ohio State.

A Tight End catches a touchdown

There are a few players who could do this, but I think Jeremy Ruckert makes it back-to-back games where he is able to catch a touchdown pass. The promise that Ruckert would have a big year is slowly building steam and I think this is a game that the Buckeyes can get the big guy a touchdown with a handful of other catches.

Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave both have over 100 receiving yards

Last week, it was time for Chris Olave to get his due after disappearing from the offense for two games. He came alive in a big way and led the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. While he did put up impressive numbers, that has also become the norm for what Olave should be doing on a weekly basis.

Garrett Wilson also had himself a fine game taking the role of second fiddle after carrying the team for the previous two weeks. This is the week I think both receivers have monster games.

After Iowa earned almost 300 yards through the air against Maryland last week, Ohio State should have no problem carving up this defense. With Stroud looking better than ever, Wilson and Olave should both be able to get open and make big plays.
