Jeremy Ruckert had more touchdown receptions in Ohio State’s season opener on Saturday than he had total receptions all of last season.
After catching just one pass for 13 yards as a true freshman, Ruckert caught four passes for 38 yards – including two touchdown catches – in Ohio State’s 45-24 win over Florida Atlantic to start his sophomore season.
Ruckert caught the first touchdown pass of Justin Fields’ Ohio State career when he was left wide open over the middle of the field for a 25-yard touchdown catch on the Buckeyes’ second possession of the game.
