“I Didn’t Think I Was Going to be That Guy” Wide Receiver K.J. Hill Was Unlikely Candidate to Score Ohio State's First Touchdown of 2016

Ohio State redshirt freshman wide receiver K.J. Hill became the answer to a trivia question Saturday when he hauled in a 47-yard pass from J.T. Barrett and walked into the end zone.

Who scored the first touchdown of the Buckeyes’ 2016 season?

No offense to Hill, but there seemed like a few candidates who were more likely.

Barrett, Ohio State’s starting quarterback, was probably the first choice. The redshirt junior had 22 rushing touchdowns in his career entering the season-opener; a quarterback draw inside the 10-yard line seemed like a real possibility to give the Buckeyes their first score of 2016.
