WATCH: Four plays after scoring TD, Buckeyes’ Chris Olave forces a safety thanks to blocked punt
Published:
Chris Olave has had quite a bit of hype around him.
The Ohio State wide receiver is in his sophomore season and caught 12 passes as a true freshman. Three of those went for scores. In the Michigan game a year ago, Olave blocked a punt.
In the game on Saturday at Indiana, Olave scored a 37-yard TD thanks to a Justin Fields throw in the second quarter. Three plays later, the Buckeyes forced a three-and-out from the Hoosiers.

Olave, on the punt return team, got to see the field again. His job on this unit, however, isn’t returning. It’s trying to block punts — as he showed against the Wolverines last season.
Again, Olave made his presence felt against Indiana:

Within four plays, Olave essentially helped score nine points for the Buckeyes.
Nicely done, young fella.
