K.J. Hill Rising in the Ohio State Wide Receiver Room, Coaches Say Bigger Role Could Be Coming in Offense

K.J. Hill found a soft spot in the defense, waited for the pass from J.T. Barrett, reached out and grabbed it near the 30-yard line and cut upfield. One side-step and dart later and Ohio State had 1st-and-goal at the 10-yard line.

Two snaps later, Curtis Samuel scored the eventual game-winning touchdown in the Buckeyes' 24-20 victory over Northwestern. But that wouldn't have happened had it not been for Hill's catch, the second-longest play from scrimmage on the day and easily the most explosive pass on an otherwise boring display from the Ohio State offense against the Wildcats.
