Ohio State is clicking on offense to start the game against Rutgers, and star receivers Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson are getting in on the action.
After gett a week of rest in Week 4, quarterback C.J. Stroud returned to the starting position on the road against the Scarlet Knights. He has looked good early, and it was a connection between Stroud and Olave that produced this highlight.
The throw by Stroud was high toward the sideline and into a window that gave Olave a shot to make a play. Olave had to get up high to grab it, but he was also able to get one foot down inside the sideline for the incredible catch.

The other big play was provided by Wilson. The throw was a short one as Wilson came across the formation on a short crossing route. But once he had possession, Wilson was off down the sideline for a 32-yard score.
It opened up a 24-0 lead for Ohio State:
