Kirby Smart talked plenty about the Ohio State offense at Friday’s presser. Ohio State’s offense has ton of firepower at multiple positions.

C.J. Stroud and company were described as having talent that oozes off the tape when watching them on film by Smart. Smart stated that you need to be disruptive when playing Ohio State.

Smart also highlighted Cade Stover as a player that can cause problems for defenses, calling the Ohio State TE one of the best at the position that Georgia has played all season.

“I think he’s one of the best tight ends we’ve played all year,” said Smart.

Stover appeared in 12 games for the Buckeyes during the regular season and caught 35 passes for 399 yards receiving with 5 touchdowns. Stover plays a big role on the Ohio State offense.
