The Ohio State Buckeyes are preparing for the biggest game of their season.

And one of the big narratives heading into the Michigan game is the health of OSU’s receiving corps, where both Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate have been out.
However, the arrow points towards the start of Saturday at 12 noon.
Will Jeremiah Smith play against Michigan?
Everything indicates this week that Smith will face the Wolverines.
The superstar second-year WR made a podcast appearance earlier in the week and said he would be “ready to go” The Game.
Then on Wednesday, head coach Ryan Day told reporters that all of his players had been at practice.
Day’s comments seemed to indicate positive news for Tate and another injured player, Lorenzo Styles.

The Buckeyes have lost four in a row to their hated rival.
Even without Smith and Tate, Ohio State would be the favorite on paper.
But the amount of added confidence the Buckeyes will gain by taking the field with their dynamic receiver duo is difficult to measure. Quarterback Julian Sayin would surely be happy to have them back.
And as kickoff approaches, it seems certain they will return.
