It's time for Ohio State's Jalin Marshall to step up

Jalin Marshall returned to action for the Buckeyes against Hawaii, can he return to form against Northern Illinois?

Wide receiver Jalin Marshall was part of the unfortunate group of four Ohio State players suspended for week one's game against Virginia Tech. He returned to action against Hawaii, but didn't exactly fill up the stat sheet. The Buckeyes will need to find a way to take advantage of Marshall's versatility and get him more touches against Northern Illinois and future opponents, especially as they look for greater consistency on that side of the ball.
