Ohio State Football: Marvin Harrison Jr. finally gets more targets
By Tyler Lyman
Marvin Harrison Jr. had 7 receptions with 160 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a beautiful 71-yard catch on the third play of the game against Youngstown State. Last year he showed us that he is an athletic freak of nature, and clearly, that didn’t go away. The Ohio State football team just needed to get him the ball.
Kyle McCord showed us that he can step up and throw. One huge problem last game was that he just wasn’t getting it to Harrison Jr., but that changed, and we all saw what happens when we feed the ball to him. With him getting Ohio State such a lead in the first half, he didn’t play much of the second half. If the Buckeyes continue to play like this Harrison will easily put the entire offense on his back. Lebron James even tweeted saying “Marvin Harrison Jr!!! H.I.M. 18 for 6 #GoBuckeyes.”
McCord should continue to throw the ball to Marvin Harrison. Compared to last week with only 2 catches a lot has improved. McCord’s and Harrison’s connection should continue to grow back to what it was like back in high school.
I hope Notre Dame is ready because with how they played and how they seem to grow, Marvin Harrison should be elite and completely smoke their corners. Hopefully with Alabama losing against Texas Longhorns, Ohio State should move into the top 4.
They will continue to knock down any team that stands in their way because what happened against Georgia in the CFP doesn’t show how good the Ohio State football team is. They should have won that game. Ohio State played the better game, but it’s alright because they are coming back to prove they are better than a far-left kick.
So as long as the Buckeyes continue giving the ball to the best wide receiver in the nation, then they should easily knock down defenses.
