Ohio State Football has elected to receive the ball and apparently shove it right down the throat of the Youngstown State penguins. We discussed all week that the gameplan for Ohio State should be to build the confidence of Kyle McCord and make that connection to his receivers as strong as possible before the meat of the schedule and that’s what we just saw.
Marvin Harrison Jr. just took his longest career reception to the house for six. Harrison scored on a 71-yard touchdown reception and beat the entire Penguin defense to the endzone. Harrison should be able to pad the stats today, but here is the reaction of social media.
