Ohio State Football: 10 bold predictions for OSU’s second half
By Alex Austin
Heading into the meat of the Ohio State football team’s schedule, here are ten bold predictions for the remainder of the Buckeye season.
The Ohio State football team has been a completely different team since their Week 2 loss against Oregon. But, everyone could have told you that. What they can’t tell you is what is going to happen next, but I am going to take my shot at ten bold predictions.
Jeremy Ruckert is going to break multiple records.
At the start of the season, Ryan Day made sure the nation was put on notice that Jeremy Ruckert could play football with the best of them. Halfway through the season, I see no reason that the big tight end will not fulfill that promise and bring in multiple records.
Over the course of the second half, Ruckert is going to take the lead in touchdown catches by an Ohio State tight end (needs two more) and break the 30 catches record (needs 14 more). With the three-headed monster already well documented and rolling, teams won’t have any answers for the fourth head that emerges.
Ohio State will dominate and give three receivers 100 yards in the same game.
Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba form the best wide receivers in the country. I’ll fight anyone on that fact. The scary thing is, they rarely all get going at the same time.
Usually, one player has a break-out game while the others play complementary roles. However, this year the Buckeyes will see a game where all three go over 100 yards in a game that will completely rewrite what this unit is capable of doing.
