Buckeye WR Corps Shows Strength And Depth Without Carnell Tate And Jeremiah Smith

The Ohio State Buckeyes, currently ranked No. 1, have encountered a substantial challenge regarding their depth this November. With star wideout Carnell Tate missing back-to-back games against Purdue and UCLA, and freshman sensation Jeremiah Smith hindered by an injury, the concern shifted from potential victories to identifying key receivers. Fortunately, a determined group of receivers, including Brandon Inniss, Bryson Rodgers, Mylan Graham, and Quincy Porter, seized the opportunity, confirming that “Zone 6” is arguably the nation's deepest receiving corps. Head coach Ryan Day emphasized the “next man up” philosophy, successfully exemplified during the 48-10 victory over UCLA.Brandon Inniss has emerged as a reliable leader, recording a career-high six receptions. Bryson Rodgers made his mark by scoring an 11-yard touchdown during a pivotal drive. Meanwhile, Mylan Graham showcased his promising skills with three receptions, and Quincy Porter, with his size and potential, caught a 14-yard pass, further solidifying the optimism for the Buckeyes' postseason aspirations.
