Ohio State's Big Game Challenges: Key Players Sit Out

Ohio State faces a tough matchup against Rutgers without some of their top players. The Buckeyes, who are undefeated, will be missing wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. This is a big deal because both players have been huge contributors this season. Jeremiah Smith, a standout wide receiver, has had an impressive year. He has caught 69 passes for over 900 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. Last year, as a freshman, he had an even better season with 15 touchdowns. This will be his first game missed this year.Carnell Tate, another key player, has also been important this season. He has caught 39 passes for over 700 yards and scored seven touchdowns. This will be his third straight game missed. Other players like Quincy Porter, Logan George, and Jarquez Carter will also not play. The team has not said why these players are out, but it is likely due to injuries. There are no players listed as questionable, meaning the team expects them to play. This game is important for Ohio State as they aim to stay undefeated. Without some of their best players, it will be interesting to see how they perform against Rutgers.
