Last year, in Columbus, wide receiver Chris Olave had his breaking out party. Both of his catches went for touchdowns as the Buckeyes rolled the Wolverines 62-39.
Coming into this year’s matchup, everybody knows about Olave. So far this season, he has caught 38 passes for 628 yards and 10 TD. Last year as a freshman, he caught 12 passes for three scores.
Here’s Olave on Tuesday, leading up to The Game, talking about how much last year’s contest against Michigan helped him:
