The senior wide receiver needs 3 more touchdowns to become No. 2 in program history and 7 to tie David Boston’s program record of 34 career touchdown passes. Olave will have plenty of chances to approach that number with 7 games remaining on the schedule, especially considering he’s CJ Stroud’s top target.
Olave caught 2 touchdowns and 119 yards as Ohio State ran circles around Rutgers in Week 5, defeating the Scarlet Knights 52-13 at SHI Stadium.
