WATCH: Chris Olave makes beautiful sideline grab vs. Indiana
Published:
Facing the Indiana Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ohio State sophomore wide receiver Chris Olave made one of the best grabs of the 2019 season so far.
On 2nd & 5 from their own 37-yard line, sophomore quarterback Justin Fields rolled to his right and found Olave for 18-yards along the sideline in front of the Ohio State bench.
Originally ruled incomplete on the field, the play was overturned on official review.
Ohio State on BTN provided footage of the play:

A native of San Marcos, California, Olave was a three-star prospect in 2018, according to the 247Sports Composite. He caught 12 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns (two vs. Michigan) as a freshman.
With the graduations of Parris Campbell and Terry McLaurin, Olave has been expected to step up in the Buckeyes’ receiving corps in 2019. In the victories over FAU and Cincinnati, he recorded six receptions, 119 yards and a score.
