The Ohio State receiver room is deeper than the one in 2014. Also, there are higher expectations for this year’s group than the one that performed so well five years ago when the Buckeyes made their run to the national title.
Let’s go back in time and look at the situation of the receiving corps prior to the 2014 season and compare it to the one now.
On the edge the Buckeyes had two solid receivers returning. Devin Smith caught 44 passes for 660 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2013. Evan Spencer had 22 receptions for 216 yards and 3 scores.
