The prediction

Ohio State has the best wide receiver room in college football. This season, Smith led the way with 52 catches for 899 yards and 10 total touchdowns. His teammates Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate aren’t far behind either, with the former collecting 56 catches for 692 yards and nine touchdowns and the latter recording 35 catches for 524 yards and four scores this season.
