Ohio State might be sitting with a loss on this year’s record right now had it not been for the blocking by wide receivers Austin Mack and Terry McLaurin on K.J. Hill’s game-winning touchdown catch against Penn State on Saturday night. The efforts are nothing new though from the receiving corps, as the group knows they won’t see the field if they don’t show their commitment to blocking.
For the wide receivers, to earn playing time on they field they first must cut their chops on the special teams unit. Binjimen Victor is the latest example of a Buckeye earning respect for his play on special teams and turning that into key production on the field.
